3.13.11.1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlow...@samsung.com>
commit ed26f87b9f71693a1d1ee85f5e6209601505080f upstream.
During probe the driver allocates dummy I2C device for RTC with i2c_new_dummy()
but it does not check the return value of this call.
In case of error (i2c_new_device(): memory allocation failure or I2C
address cannot be used) this function returns NULL which is later used
by i2c_unregister_device().
If i2c_new_dummy() fails for RTC device, fail also the probe for
main MFD driver.
