I think you're missing a case, here:
ret = device_create_file(&dock_device.dev, &dev_attr_uid);
if (ret) {
printk("Error %d adding sysfs file\n", ret);
platform_device_unregister(&dock_device);
kfree(dock_station);
return ret;
}
also, the code duplication in there is unpleasing. Doesn't this look
better?
