Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [Low] Incorrect PM wrapper macro used for the dev_pm_ops structure pointer.

Pre-existing issues:
- [Critical] This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but there is a use-after-free of the RC device on driver removal and probe error paths due to an active devres-managed IRQ handler.

media: rc: Convert to DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS()

Convert the deprecated SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS to DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS
and pm_sleep_ptr(). This lets us drop the __maybe_unused annotations
from its suspend and resume callbacks, also reduces kernel size in
case CONFIG_PM or CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is disabled.

[Severity: Low]
Does this code use the correct wrapper macro for a dev_pm_ops structure
pointer? Since sunxi_ir_pm_ops is a structure pointer rather than a sleep
callback, should it use pm_ptr() instead of pm_sleep_ptr()?

[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could there be a use-after-free of the RC
device on driver removal and probe error paths?

The driver initializes a devres-managed IRQ in sunxi_ir_probe():

	ret = devm_request_irq(dev, ir->irq, sunxi_ir_irq, 0, SUNXI_IR_DEV, ir);

On probe failure or during sunxi_ir_remove(), the driver manually calls
rc_unregister_device() and rc_free_device(), freeing the RC device memory:

exit_unregister_dev:
	rc_unregister_device(ir->rc);
exit_free_dev:
	rc_free_device(ir->rc);

Because devres cleanup has not yet run, the IRQ remains active. If an
interrupt fires or is already in-flight on another CPU during this window,
would sunxi_ir_irq() dereference the freed ir->rc?

	ir_raw_event_overflow(ir->rc);

Also, could this read from disabled hardware if an interrupt fires after
sunxi_ir_hw_exit() is called?
