From 99fef587ff98894426d9bf1f5b7336345052d4b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 20:21:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] driver core: platform: Respect return code of platform_device_register_full() The platform_device_register_full() might return an error pointer. If we instantiate platform device which is optional we may simplify the routine at removal stage by simply calling platform_device_unregister(). For now it requires to check parameter for being an error pointer in each caller. To make users' life easier, check for an error pointer inside driver core.
