ret is undeclared? Has this been tested?

Don't need braces on single line if statements, and unlikely is not
needed here (it isn't a hotpath). The whole error can probably just be
removed since it looks like misc_deregister already does a WARN_ON if it
fails.

Don't spam the log with stuff like this. Either change to pr_debug, or
probably just remove it.

Missing:

	list_del(&current_log->logs);

This is pointless.

Nitpick - Blank line here.

Should be Robert Love according to the header comment.

Don't need extra blank lines at the end of the file.
