media: platform: exynos4-is: Fix error handling in fimc_md_init()
[ Upstream commit b434422c45282a0573d8123239abc41fa72665d4 ]
A problem about modprobe s5p_fimc failed is triggered with the
following log given:
[ 272.075275] Error: Driver 'exynos4-fimc' is already registered, aborting...
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 's5p_fimc': Device or resource busy
The reason is that fimc_md_init() returns platform_driver_register()
directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register()
failed, it returns without unregister fimc_driver, resulting the
s5p_fimc can never be installed later.
A simple call graph is shown as below:
fimc_md_init()
fimc_register_driver() # register fimc_driver
platform_driver_register()
platform_driver_register()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
dev = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without unregister fimc_driver
Fix by unregister fimc_driver when platform_driver_register() returns
error.
