From: Atul Gopinathan <atulgopinathan@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3890e3dea315f1a257d1b940a2a4e2fa16a7b095 ] The macro "spi_register_driver" invokes the function "__spi_register_driver()" which has a return type of int and can fail, returning a negative value in such a case. This is currently ignored and the init() function yields success even if the spi driver failed to register. Fix this by collecting the return value of "__spi_register_driver()" and also unregister the uart driver in case of failure.
