acpi_video_bus_add_notify_handler() could free video->input and set it to NULL on failure, but this failure will be missed in its caller acpi_video_bus_add(). As a result, when an error happens in acpi_dev_install_notify_handler(), acpi_video_bus_add() will call acpi_video_bus_remove_notify_handler(), where a potential null pointer video->input is dereferenced in input_unregister_device(). Fix this by adding a return value check and adjusting the following error handling code.
