Subject: [PATCH] tty: ehv_bytechan: clean up init error handling
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 12:30:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170426103004.30066-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Straighten out the initcall error handling to avoid deregistering a
never-registered tty driver (something which would lead to a
NULL-pointer dereference) in the most unlikely event that driver
registration fails (e.g. we've run out of major numbers).
