NULL here doesn't really mean an error. It means that we don't need to
handle Power domains because as you said the caller
already used dev_pm_domain_attach.

Similar with this:

$ drivers/base/power/domain.c +2504

int genpd_dev_pm_attach(struct device *dev)

         / * Devices with multiple PM domains must be attached separately, as we
           * can only attach one PM domain per device.
          */
        if (of_count_phandle_with_args(dev->of_node, "power-domains",
                                    "#power-domain-cells") != 1)
               return 0;

Will update the description for when this function returns a NULL.

PTR_ERR returns a long but our function needs to return struct
dev_multi_pm_domain_data *.
