A problem about 8250_bcm7271 create debugfs failed is triggered with the
following log given:
[ 324.516635] debugfs: Directory 'bcm7271-uart' with parent '/' already present!
The reason is that brcmuart_init() returns platform_driver_register()
directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register()
failed, it returns without destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting
the debugfs of 8250_bcm7271 can never be created later.
brcmuart_init()
debugfs_create_dir() # create debugfs directory
platform_driver_register()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without destroy debugfs directory
Fix by removing debugfs when platform_driver_register() returns error.
