3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxx> commit a72d2abbe5752f3a773c4d8b7b41ae41f617f772 upstream. We need to return the error codes from aic31xx_device_init() and return from the i2c_probe with the error code. We will have kernel panic (NULL pointer dereference) in regulator_register_notifier() in case the devm_regulator_bulk_get() fails (with -EPROBE_DEFER for example).
