3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ca4383a3947a83286bc9b9c598a1f55e867871d7 upstream.
Add missing error handling when registering the tty device at port
probe. This avoids trying to remove an uninitialised character device
when the port device is removed.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
