[PATCH] ieee802154: fakelb: release platform device if driver registration fails

[Wentao Liang]

fakelb_init_module() registers a platform device and then registers the
platform driver, returning the result of the latter directly. If driver
registration fails, module initialization fails and the module exit
function is never run, so the platform device is never unregistered and
leaks.

Check the result of platform_driver_register() and unregister the device
on failure. Also check the device registration result, which can be an
ERR_PTR, before using the stored pointer.
