The patch 23c7b54ca1cd: "PM / devfreq: Fix devfreq_add_device() when drivers are built as modules." leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1043 governor_store() warn: 'governor' can also be NULLThe reason is that the try_then_request_governor() function returns both error pointers and NULL. It should just return error pointers, so fix this by returning a ERR_PTR to the error intead of returning NULL.

Hi,
This is a resend of [1] as seems that got lost at some point and I just noticed that was never merged.
Thanks, Enric
