Thanks for the feedback.

I wonder if the core would handle that for drivers... if I understand
it correctly, pm_runtime_reinit() does not disable runtime PM for a
device, otherwise pm_runtime_remove() wouldn't need to bother
calling __pm_runtime_disable() before pm_runtime_reinit().

In fact, from the runtime_pm documentation [1] I read the following:
"Drivers in ->remove() callback should undo the runtime PM changes
done in ->probe(). Usually this means calling pm_runtime_disable(),
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() etc."

Based on the above I assume it's still necessary given pm_runtime_enable()
was called in ->probe().

That sounds like a good alternative, I'll revise and send a new patch, thanks.
