Hi Eugen,

Thanks for the fix, the issue is real, but I think the patch leaks a 
runtime PM reference.

pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() returns 1 and increments the usage counter is 
active and in use.

I think we need to add:
pm_runtime_put(unicam->dev);

Just before the return 0;

BTW, we may miss a dev_info explaining why the live data is skipped when 
the device is suspended ?

Thanks,
JM
