Wondering against which branch this patch is, I found that this issue 
isn't in recent mainline from today, but in -next. Introduced by the patch

ARM: perf: simplify __hw_perf_event_init err handling
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=commitdiff;h=9dcbf466559f6f2f55d60eb5a1bbebc8e694b52a

While the subject/commit message could be improved (at least 
mentioning 'perf' somehow and charactor -> character), the change 
itself looks good.

Best regards
