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.
