From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Returning an error code from dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() if device_wakeup_attach_irq() called by it returns an error is pointless, because the wakeup source used by it may be deleted by user space via sysfs at any time and in particular right after dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() has returned. Moreover, it requires the callers of dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() to create that wakeup source via device_wakeup_enable() upfront, but that obviously is racy with respect to the sysfs-based manipulations of it. To avoid the race, modify dev_pm_attach_wake_irq() to simply call device_wakeup_attach_irq() after checking that the wakeup source it is going to use is there (in which case it cannot fail) and set the power.wakeirq field for the device unconditionally.
