Somethng like this would be slightly more efficient:

bool pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(struct device *dev)
{
        unsigned log flags;
        bool ret = false;

        spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->power.lock, flags);

        if (dev->power.runtime_status == RPM_ACTIVE)
                ret = !!atomic_inc_not_zero(&dev->power.usage_count);

        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->power.lock, flags);
        return ret;
}

Thanks,
