A problem about insmod megachips-stdpxxxx-ge-b850v3-fw.ko failed is triggered with the following log given: [ 4497.981497] Error: Driver 'stdp4028-ge-b850v3-fw' is already registered, aborting... insmod: ERROR: could not insert module megachips-stdpxxxx-ge-b850v3-fw.ko: Device or resource busy The reason is that stdpxxxx_ge_b850v3_init() returns i2c_add_driver() directly without checking its return value, if i2c_add_driver() failed, it returns without calling i2c_del_driver() on the previous i2c driver, resulting the megachips-stdpxxxx-ge-b850v3-fw can never be installed later. A simple call graph is shown as below: stdpxxxx_ge_b850v3_init() i2c_add_driver(&stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_driver) i2c_add_driver(&stdp2690_ge_b850v3_fw_driver) i2c_register_driver() driver_register() bus_add_driver() priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened # return without delete stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_driver Fix by calling i2c_del_driver() on stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_driver when i2c_add_driver() returns error.
