You can not call device_del() afterward if this fails, you have to call put_device(). See the documentation for device_add() for details. This is messy as you are doing a "two step" initialization of your fpga_manager device for some odd reason. Why do you need to do that? When you call this you seem to be forced to do: fpga_mgr_create() fpga_mgr_register() in each individual driver. Why force drivers to do this and not just do a simple: fpga_mgr_register() that internally does the create/add process? Why the two steps? That's normally reserved for when you need to do something complex in the "core" for the subsystem, and shouldn't be pushed out to each individual driver like it currently is for the fpga core as you will run into the problem you have here. Namely when you want to clean up from a failure, you don't know if you really did register that device properly or not. And no, don't add another flag, just make this simple and hard to get wrong. As it is it feels like each fpga driver has to do extra work to be sure to get this all correct each time. So I can not take this as-is, sorry. And sorry I never noticed these problems when the code when in originally. thanks, greg k-h
