OK, the patch is right, but couldn't we take the opportunity to make this
more readable while at it? Ssomething like:

static void unregister_drivers(void)
{
        int error = tty_unregister_driver(isicom_normal);

        if (error)
		printk(KERN_DEBUG "ISICOM: couldn't unregister normal "
				  "driver error=%d.\n", error);

? :-)
