As I've explained elsewhere, this is just misleading. There is no usage
count leak here as the count is balanced whenever the user re-enables
autosuspend through sysfs (by writing a non-negative timeout).

Drivers should clean up after themselves and disable autosuspend, but
this is more of a clean up than a fix and should not be backported.

You've sent upwards of 60 of these in the matter of just a few days,
some of which have even been picked up. Please send follow-ups (replies
or v2s) as soon as possible to prevent further of these from getting
merged.
