[PATCH v3] media: bcm2835-unicam: Fix log status runtime access

Wed Jun 10 22:29:55 PDT 2026


When requesting log status, the block might be powered off, but registers
are being read.
Avoid reading the registers if the device is not resumed, thus also avoid
powering up the device just for log status.

Changes in v3:
- Changed to check return value of pm_runtime_get_if_active() and only call
  pm_runtime_put() if the device is active.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260522-bcmpipm-v2-1-a3da66cbc9f0@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- changed to use pm_runtime_get_if_active()
- add corresponding put()
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260521-bcmpipm-v1-1-3eba88d88045@kernel.org
