ab8500_probe() registers MFD child devices before completing the
remaining device initialization. If a later MFD registration or sysfs
group creation fails, previously registered child devices are not
removed.
Use devm_mfd_add_devices() so registered MFD child devices are removed
when probe fails.
The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
Fixes: cca69b67b3ba ("mfd: Export ab8500 chip id to sysfs")
Fixes: 9c717cf3fa16 ("mfd: ab8500-core: Add device for new RTC version for AB8540 cut2")

v2:
- Use devm_mfd_add_devices() for all MFD child registrations, as
suggested by Lee Jones.
