I think this is the wrong approach here. Given function can fail
without probe() returning an error, go up one level and treat this whole
function as something to be device managed. That way you can register
the unwind function only if the call in probe succeeds.

Hmm. Doing this within a function that can fail without resulting in driver probe failure
is rather messy. I think you should call a manual free so this isn't left around until
driver remove.

Or decide this function is too complex and do the devm_ management one layer out using
a devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, toshiba_acpi_unsetup_keyboard, *) or similar to do
it in one go. That would only be registered if this function succeeded in the first place.

Does this not want to do goto err_null_dev?
Same with the one above.

How about, having a local hotkey_dev variable and only setting
it in the good path just before returning? That way we can return
directly above and have a cleaner flow.
