[PATCH 09/50] sysdev: Do not register with sysdev when erroring on add

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Mar 16 2011 - 17:12:37 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@xxxxxxx>

When encountering an error while executing the driver's ->add method, we
should cancel registration and unwind what we've regged so far. The low
level ->add methods do return proper error codes but those aren't looked
at in sysdev_driver_register(). Fix that by sharing the unregistering
code.
