This looks like a general improvement unrelated to the other patches in
this series. I think this should go as a separate patch (not as a part
of this series).

The return value change is separate improvement unrelated to the series
or to the PM_API_FEATURES API usage. I think this change can be carved
out to a separate patch.
Except for the above nits, code looks good to me.
