Looks good to me.  A handful of nitpicks below, I don't know if Greg
will want you to respin for these or not.  Feel free to add my
acked-by line though:

Nit: first line of kerneldoc format should look like this:

/**
 * platform_bus_get_pm_ops() - return pointer to busses dev_pm_ops

nit: const struct dev_pm_ops would be appropriate

The __init annotations should only appear in the .c file, not the header.
