Argh.. there are other users of this API getting this wrong too. This
make me wonder why dev_pm_domain_attach_by_name() return NULL instead of
the error code returned by of_property_match_string().
IMHO to fix once and for all users we should fix the return code of
dev_pm_domain_attach_by_name().

Marco
