Nope ;-) .... I.e. right now the code ignores the -EINVAL from disabled PM
and continues, possibly even handling the irq correctly.

If it actually worked is a different matter, as I guess nobody really tried
with !PM in the past.

Now with error-handling we always return IRQ_NONE for !PM.

I guess it might be best to go the Tegra, etc way. Whoever in their right
mind would want to drive a mobile platform without any form for power
management ;-) .

I can do these patches for arm32+arm64 myself ... I just wanted to put
that thought out there - in case that was just a stupid idea of mine :-D .
