The return is premature.  dev->power.wakeup should be reset back to
NULL if the wakeup source creation fails.

There is a problem when there are two concurrent callers of
device_wakeup_enable() running in parallel with a caller of
device_wakeup_disable(), but that can be prevented by an extra check
in the latter.

Apart from that I missed a few if (dev->power.wakeup) checks to convert.

I'll update the patch and resend it.
