Hello Pierre,

Please take a look at this patch, that was my inspiration:
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2011-June/031930.html

I also took a look, and it seems the value returned by 
pm_runtime_get_syncis simply ignored in a lot of places, 
so checking its value may be excessive.

Regards,
Jan
