Do not call power_supply_powers() if power_supply_register() failed earlier. This fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by power_supply_powers() in such case. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The patch was prepared on top of next-20150323.
