Good catch!

Applied to the linux-next branch of the linux-pm.git tree.  I'm going to
push it as a fix for v3.6.

However, there's one more analogous fix necessary, for which I'm going to
apply the appended patch.

Thanks,

Subject: PM / Domains: Fix one more dev_pm_get_subsys_data() return value check

The check agains the return value of dev_pm_get_subsys_data()
in pm_genpd_add_callbacks() should be modified so that non-negative
values are not regarded as errors, because dev_pm_get_subsys_data()
returns 1 if it successfully creates a new object.
