Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i2c: xiic: fix reference leak when pmruntimeget_sync fails

The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on return in xiicxfer and xiici2c_remove.

However, pmruntimeget_sync will increment the PM reference count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result in a reference leak here.

Replace it with pmruntimeresumeandget to keep usage counter balanced.
