3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Alexey Khoroshilov <[email protected]> commit bcb4a75bde3821cecb17a71d287abfd6ef9bd68d upstream. Several improvements in error handling: - do not report success if alloc_chrdev_region() failed - check for error code of cdev_add() - use unregister_chrdev_region() instead of unregister_chrdev() if class_create() failed Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
