We used to return error and that error aborted the suspend altogether,
which prompted creating this patch.

Yes, there is such potential, but that kind of error (no working wakeup
sources) will be discovered before a box is shipped. Right now we have
boxes in the wild that suspend fine with 3.10 and refuse to suspend with
3.14 because between 3.10 and 3.14 we started placing i2c devices with
ACPI companions into ACPI power domain and ACPI power domain is now
trying to configure them as wakeup sources and fails.

Thanks.
