+ if (mdev->registered == 0) {
+ retval = device_register(&mdev->dev);
+ if (retval) {
+ printk(KERN_INFO
+ "Maple bus: Attempt to register device"
+ " (%x, %x) failed.\n",
+ mdev->port, mdev->unit);
+ maple_free_dev(mdev);
+ mdev = NULL;
+ return;
+ }
+ mdev->registered = 1;
+ }
}


Specifically the check on mdev->registered

Unfortunately the previous commit was completely corrupted by whitespace
everywhere so the patch essentially covers the whole dirver (I had a
choice of submitting broken code with whitespace removed or working code
with whitespace removed)
