This will do the same job, without code duplication right?

static int ravb_set_features(struct net_device *ndev,
			     netdev_features_t features)
{
	struct ravb_private *priv = netdev_priv(ndev);
	struct device *dev = &priv->pdev->dev;
	const struct ravb_hw_info *info = priv->info;

	pm_runtime_get_noresume(dev);
	if (!pm_runtime_active(dev)) {
		pm_runtime_put_noidle(dev);
		ndev->features = features;
		return 0;
	}
		
	return info->set_feature(ndev, features);
}

Cheers,
