Re: [PATCH] GPIO_KEYS: If devm_add_action() fails, we are explicitly calling the cleanup to freethe resources allocated. Use the helper devm_add_action_or_reset() and return directly in case of error, since the cleanup function has been already called by the helper if there was any error.

Sorry for subject. Thanks for reviewing my patch. I will take care and 
follow the standard now.

regards,
Arvind
