[PATCH] regulator: ab3100 - fix the logic to remove alreadyregistered regulators in error path

From: Axel Lin
Date: Sat Aug 14 2010 - 09:30:56 EST


In current implementation, ab3100_regulators[0].rdev is not unregistered if
the error happen at i > 0.

This patch fixes the resource leak and also improves the readability.

I think this change is better ( in readability ) than simply change "while (i > 0)" to "while (i >= 0)".
