Always include the commit summary as well here, so:

It's always a good idea to indicate why something failed:

	err = platform_device_register(&gpmc_smsc911x_regulator);

		pr_err("Unable to register smsc911x regulators: %d\n", err);
		return;

so that people can see not only what failed, but also why it failed.
