One usage is to get statistics info about devices for debug purpose, so the parameter is needed to return something.

IMO, it is better to split them to avoid coupling between fw loader and device PM.
Looks you agreed on the patch, and Greg has added the patch into his driver-core next tree to fix -next build failure, so could you just let them be that?

Firmware loader might be built as module, so without exporting something from device PM core, the problem can't be fixed.
