The code could be a little more succinct, although it wouldn't fit every usage. For example, #define pm_do_callback(dev, method) \ (dev->driver && dev->driver->pm && dev->driver->pm->callback ? \ dev->driver->pm->callback(dev) : 0) Then the usage is something like: ret = pm_do_callback(dev, prepare); Would this be an overall improvement?
