[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 9/9] media: cros-ec-cec: Don't exit early in .remove() callback

[Sasha Levin]

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 0ff7aee24e47beb4306ce050824b54147f2fabfa ]

Exiting early in remove without releasing all acquired resources yields
leaks. Note that e.g. memory allocated with devm_zalloc() is freed after
.remove() returns, even if the return code was negative.

While blocking_notifier_chain_unregister() won't fail and so the
change is somewhat cosmetic, platform driver's .remove callbacks are
about to be converted to return void. To prepare that, keep the error
message but don't return early.
