3.2.58-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 159ce52a6b777fc82fa0b51c7440e25f9e4c6feb upstream.
During probe the driver allocates dummy I2C device for companion chip
with i2c_new_dummy() but it does not check the return value of this call.
In case of error (i2c_new_device(): memory allocation failure or I2C
address cannot be used) this function returns NULL which is later used
by regmap_init_i2c().
If i2c_new_dummy() fails for companion device, fail also the probe for
main MFD driver.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- Adjust filename, context
- Add kfree() before return, as driver is not using managed allocations]
