From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 96cf3dedc491d2f1f66cc26217f2b06b0c7b6797 upstream. During probe the driver allocates dummy I2C devices for RTC and ADC with i2c_new_dummy() but it does not check the return value of this calls. 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 or ADC devices, fail also the probe for main MFD driver.
