I know you are only replacing the -1, but EPERM does not make any sense
here. It's not a permission problem, it's the lack of a feature. So the
proper code is -ENODEV.

Ditto

Same here.

But this error case is broken because it does not undo the

     device_init_wakeup(&pdev->dev, true);

So this needs

+  		device_init_wakeup(&pdev->dev, false);

before the goto

                ENODEV

So please do not blindly replace something without actually analysing
it. There is a reason why these things are not just "fixed" with a
script.

Thanks,
