The device_register() is declared with must_check, causing this:
arch/ia64/sn/kernel/tiocx.c: In function 'cx_device_register':
arch/ia64/sn/kernel/tiocx.c:210:17: warning: ignoring return value of 'device_register', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
Check the return value, and free resources if it fails.
