The error handling in neo1973_init is incorrect: * If platform_device_add fails, we go on with the rest of the initialization instead of bailing out. Things will break when the module is removed (platform_device_unregister called on a device that wasn't registered.) * If i2c_add_driver fails, we return an error so the module will not load, but we don't unregister neo1973_snd_device, so we are leaking resources. Add the missing error handling.

Tim, Graeme, can any of you please review and test this patch?
