From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Mar 31 2016 - 16:43:51 EST


4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vz@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ccbc2a9e7878ff09bcaed4893c2a2d3adbb797e2 upstream.

On error platform_device_register_simple() returns ERR_PTR() value,
check for NULL always fails. The change corrects the check itself and
propagates the returned error upwards.

Fixes: 81fb0b901397 ("staging: android: ion_test: unregister the platform device")
