pi433_init had "unregister_chrdev" called twice.
Remove it using goto statements.

Just return directly.  Do nothing gotos are bad for readability and they
create Forgot to Set the Error Code bugs.  Also there was a direct
return earlier in the function so it's better to do things consistently.
Fixed in V2.


status = class_register(&pi433_class);
-	if (status) {
-		unregister_chrdev(MAJOR(pi433_devt),
-				  pi433_spi_driver.driver.name);
-		return status;

root_dir = debugfs_create_dir(KBUILD_MODNAME, NULL); status = spi_register_driver(&pi433_spi_driver);
-	if (status < 0) {
-		class_unregister(&pi433_class);

+unreg_class:

There is a debugfs_remove() missing.  I have written a blog that might
be helpful:

Interesting blog post.
I hope I followed through & made the right changes.
