6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ma Ke make24@iscas.ac.cn
commit b2ea5f49580c0762d17d80d8083cb89bc3acf74f upstream.
If device_add() fails, do not use device_unregister() for error handling. device_unregister() consists two functions: device_del() and put_device(). device_unregister() should only be called after device_add() succeeded because device_del() undoes what device_add() does if successful. Change device_unregister() to put_device() call before returning from the function.
As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'.
