3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b9e183a1d495cd65412abe0f9df19b151716bfe7 upstream.
During probe the driver allocates dummy I2C device for RTC 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 i2c_unregister_device().
If i2c_new_dummy() fails for RTC device, fail also the probe for main
MFD driver.
