[PATCH 3.4 058/172] USB: serial: fix tty-device error handling at probe

[lizf]

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.4.108-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit ca4383a3947a83286bc9b9c598a1f55e867871d7 upstream.

Add missing error handling when registering the tty device at port
probe. This avoids trying to remove an uninitialised character device
when the port device is removed.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Reported-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@xxxxxxxxx>
[lizf: Backported to 3.4:
 - adjust context
 - s/goto exit_with_autopm/goto exit]
