NAK. You are clearly doing a mechanical search and replace, and then
throwing out patches without a care in the world for other people to
then decide whether the changes are in fact appropriate or not.

Please don't do that. Please read and understand the code before you
waste reviewers and developers time - otherwise you will educate
reviews and developers to ignore your efforts.

Your change is incorrect, as can be seen by the following if()
statement, which checks for NULL here. Clearly, the explicit
intention is that if dev_pm_domain_attach_by_name() returns NULL,
imx6_pcie_attach_pd() does _not_ fail.

So you are likely creating a regression by your change. You are
likely introducing a bug rather than fixing something. This is
why you must always carefully review any mechanical change.

This change is unnecessary. If dev_pm_domain_attach_by_name() returns
Null, then device_link_add() will also return NULL, and the check for
a NULL link will then succeed. So the NULL case is already cleanly
handled.

So overall, your patch is unnecessary and introduces a bug rather than
fixing it. Therefore, you can discard the patch in its entirety.

Thanks.
