Your patch looks ok, but I find it extremely annoying to have new warnings
like this one come up every single day in linux-next. It really shouldn't
be this hard to use a macro called SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() correctly.

Below is an implementation of SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS and UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS
that avoids this issue by introducing an unused reference to the suspend
and resume functions. gcc is smart enough to leave out that unused code
by itself, and it would actually improve compile-time coverage to have
something like this, besides being harder to misuse.

This would be a better approach if we didn't already have all the "#ifdef
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" in place that hide the functions now. Unfortunately we
already have over 300 uses of SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS/UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS
in the kernel today, so removing all the #ifdef atomically without
creating more build errors is rather hard to do.

Maybe someone has an idea how to extend my approach so it works with
and without the #ifdef, to let us transition to a situation that no
longer needs them.
