First of all, this particular problem has been reported already and patches
addressing it were queued up for merging later in this cycle.  However,
your patch below shows that those two patches were incomplete, so I'm going
to use the appended one instead.

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Subject: PM: Make dev_pm_get_subsys_data() always return 0 on success

Commits 1d5fcfec22 (PM / Domains: Add device domain data reference
counter) and 62d4490294 (PM / Domains: Allow device callbacks to be
added at any time) added checks for the return value of
dev_pm_get_subsys_data(), but those checks were incorrect, because
that function returned 1 on success in some cases.

Since all of the existing users of dev_pm_get_subsys_data() don't use
the positive value returned by it on success, change its definition
so that it always returns 0 when successful.
