From 51888393cc64dd0462d0b96c13ab94873abbc030 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2025 12:41:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] PM: runtime: Take active children into account in pm_runtime_get_if_in_use()

For all practical purposes, there is no difference between the situation in which a given device is not ignoring children and its active child count is nonzero and the situation in which its runtime PM usage counter is nonzero. However, pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() will only increment the device's usage counter and return 1 in the latter case.

For consistency, make it do so in the former case either by adjusting pm_runtime_get_conditional() and update the related kerneldoc comments accordingly.
