Shouldn't the above function look like this instead to be simpler:

int wakeup_sysfs_add(struct device *dev)
{
	int ret = sysfs_merge_group(&dev->kobj, &pm_wakeup_attr_group);

	if (ret)
		return ret;

	return kobject_uevent(&dev->kobj, KOBJ_CHANGE);
}

Use 'ret' like the above function had, to be consistent.

nit, use __func__ to describe a function name, if you really want it.
Why do you need to send a message for this error, will that really ever
happen?
