This patch adds error handing for acerhdf_register_platform(), thus correct the error handing path in acerhdf_init(). goto out_err instead of err_unreg if acerhdf_register_platform() fail. 3. platform_device_del() should only used in error handling. Current implementation missed a platform_device_put() in acerhdf_exit. This patch fixes it by using platform_device_unregister() instead of platform_device_del() in acerhdf_unregister_platform.
