Is it needed to call cec_unregister_adapter() when
cec_register_adapter() fails?

Yes, it's confusing, but unregister is needed to free the adapter
properly, it's prepared to do it. Thanks for the review.


I don't know this API, so you'll get the last word, but
cec_unregister_adapter() does not seem to do that many things in such a
case, unless I miss something. See [1].

On a second look, apparently you're right and
cec_notifier_cec_adap_unregister() should be used there.


So, maybe in the .remove() function as well?
