Calling rpm_put_suppliers() from pm_runtime_drop_link() is excessive
as it affects all suppliers of the consumer device and not just the
one pointed to by the device link being dropped. Worst case it may
cause the consumer device to stop working unexpectedly. Moreover, in
principle it is racy with respect to runtime PM of the consumer
device.
To avoid these problems drop runtime PM references on the particular
supplier pointed to by the link in question only and do that after
the link has been dropped from the consumer device's list of links to
suppliers, which is in device_link_free().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
