Subject: [PATCH] PM / wakeup: Do not fail dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() unnecessarily

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Returning an error code from dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() if
device_wakeup_attach_irq() called by it returns an error is
pointless, because the wakeup source used by it may be deleted
by user space via sysfs at any time and in particular right after
dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() has returned.  Moreover, it requires
the callers of dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() to create that wakeup
source via device_wakeup_enable() upfront, but that obviously is
racy with respect to the sysfs-based manipulations of it.

To avoid the race, modify dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() to simply call
device_wakeup_attach_irq() after checking that the wakeup source it
is going to use is there (in which case it cannot fail) and set the
power.wakeirq field for the device unconditionally.
