I repeat the subject line of the patch:
[PATCH v2] musb: omap2430: do not assume balanced enable()/disable()
It is *not* fix charging.

So you mean that the phy should magically know at which refcounter
it should power on and off if power on/off is not called in the
balanced way?

Maybe the phy-twl4030 uses the phy layer wrong.
Now the relevant part of power on/off in phy-twl4030 is done via struct
phy_ops.power_off/power_on (*not* via pm_runtime). Maybe that is wrong
and more parts should be moved to the pm_runtime stuff (which is also
present).
Then the phy subsystem has its own power refcounter in struct
phy.power_count. It it handled via phy_power_off()/phy_power_on().
And that is called from musb/omap2430.c
But that is another story.

And that exactly tries my patch to do. For that task it does not
even use the PM runtime system. Again please read the subject line of
the patch. Maybe it unveils some other pm issues in musb
which should first be fixed in a complete patch series.

Regards,
Andreas
