I hate ? : lines with a passion, as they break normal pattern mattching
in my brain.  Please just spell this all out:
	if (drv && drv->pm)
		return drv->pm;
	return NULL;

Much easier to read, and the compiler will do the exact same thing.

Only place ? : are ok to use in my opinion, are as function arguments.
