If au0828_analog_register fails, the dev is kfree'd and then flow
jumps to done, which can call au0828_usb_disconnect. Since all USB
error codes are negative, au0828_usb_disconnect will be called. The
problem is au0828_usb_disconnect uses dev, if dev is NULL then there
is immediate oops encountered.
