[PATCH] nvme/hwmon: Return error code when registration fails

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Fri Feb 12 2021 - 04:31:38 EST


The hwmon pointer wont be NULL if the registration fails. Though the
exit code path will assign it to ctrl->hwmon_device. Later
nvme_hwmon_exit() will try to free the invalid pointer. Avoid this by
returning the error code from hwmon_device_register_with_info().
