Subject: [PATCH 3.18 02/58] PM / devfreq: Propagate error from devfreq_add_device()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@...aro.org>

commit d1bf2d30728f310f72296b54f0651ecdb09cbb12 upstream.

Propagate the error of devfreq_add_device() in devm_devfreq_add_device()
rather than statically returning ENOMEM. This makes it slightly faster
to pinpoint the cause of a returned error.

Fixes: 8cd84092d35e ("PM / devfreq: Add resource-managed function for devfreq device")
