pm_runtime_put() may return 1 if the device is already suspended though
this call trace:

pm_runtime_put() ->
   __pm_runtime_idle() ->
       rpm_idle() ->
           rpm_suspend() ->
               rpm_check_suspend_allowed() [1]

That return value is not considered error thus I wanted to consider it
here, too.

Indeed, the driver depends on CONFIG_PM=y for proper working. It is for
devices selecting ARCH_RZG2L and RZ/V2M (ARM64 based uarch) which select
CONFIG_PM=y:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/soc/renesas/Kconfig#L45

The driver is written with CONFIG_PM=y dependency in mind (e.g. the clocks
are enabled though runtime PM APIs).

The dependency exists there for ARCH_RZG2L and RZ/V2M devices but not
directly and it is not strict (in the sense that we allow to build the
driver w/o CONFIG_PM (I think this is good to check build on different
configurations, the COMPILE_TEST is there anyway in [1]) ). E.g.:

RENESAS_RZG2LWDT depends on ARCH_RENESAS [1]
ARCH_RENESAS is the ARMv8 uarch flag [2]
SOC_RENESAS is set if ARCH_RENESAS [3]
ARCH_RZG2L is visible only if SOC_RENESAS [4]
ARCH_RZG2L selects PM [5]
RZ/V2M selects PM [6]

Please let me know what do you think about it?

Thank you,
Claudiu Beznea
