pm_runtime_get_sync(), contradictory to intuition, does not drop the runtime PM usage counter on errors which lead to several wrong usages in drivers (missing the put). pm_runtime_resume_and_get() was added as a better implementation so document the preference of using it, hoping it will stop bad patterns.
