 [PATCH v1 19/23] pmdomain: imx: gpcv2: Discard pm_runtime_put() return value

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

Passing pm_runtime_put() return value to the callers is not particularly
useful.

Returning an error code from pm_runtime_put() merely means that it has
not queued up a work item to check whether or not the device can be
suspended and there are many perfectly valid situations in which that
can happen, like after writing "on" to the devices' runtime PM "control"
attribute in sysfs for one example.

Accordingly, update imx_pgc_domain_suspend() to simply discard the
return value of pm_runtime_put() and always return success to the
caller.

This will facilitate a planned change of the pm_runtime_put() return
type to void in the future.

This patch is part of a series, but it doesn't depend on anything else
in that series.  The last patch in the series depends on it.

It can be applied by itself and if you decide to do so, please let me
know.

Otherwise, an ACK or equivalent will be appreciated, but also the lack
of specific criticism will be eventually regarded as consent.
