    eeprom: idt_89hpesx: Fix error handling in idt_init()
    
    [ Upstream commit d717a3ab282f51ec45142f911f7ef8a55c057de5 ]
    
    A problem about idt_89hpesx create debugfs failed is triggered with the
    following log given:
    
     [ 4973.269647] debugfs: Directory 'idt_csr' with parent '/' already present!
    
    The reason is that idt_init() returns i2c_add_driver() directly without
    checking its return value, if i2c_add_driver() failed, it returns without
    destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting the debugfs of idt_csr can
    never be created later.
    
     idt_init()
       debugfs_create_dir() # create debugfs directory
       i2c_add_driver()
         driver_register()
           bus_add_driver()
             priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
       # return without destroy debugfs directory
    
    Fix by removing debugfs when i2c_add_driver() returns error.
