[PATCH] i2c: i801: fix usage_count leak when autosuspend_delay is negative

Message-ID <[email protected]>
i801_probe() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but i801_remove()
does not call the matching pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() when
tearing down the device.

If the autosuspend delay is set to a negative value while autosuspend
is enabled, the runtime PM core increments usage_count to prevent
runtime suspend. Without calling pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend()
during driver teardown, this reference is not dropped and usage_count
remains unbalanced.

Add the missing pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() call in i801_remove()
before restoring the runtime PM usage reference.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
