The usb_register() function can fail and returns an error value which is not returned. The function gpib_register_driver() can also fail which can result in semi-registered module. In case gpib_register_driver() fails unregister the previous usb driver registering function. Return the error value if gpib_register_driver() or usb_register() functions fail.
