If jsm fails to load, then remove the uart stuff, otherwise, the things (as files), will be there forever (even when the module is unloaded). If you try to reload the module, the following message appears: kobject_add_internal failed for ttyn1 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. This patch remove the uart things when the driver fails.
