Instead of using mixed in-line and goto style cleanup I prefer doig the
following:

 err_unregister_input_dev:
	input_unregister_device(input);
	input = NULL; <-- !!!
 err_free_input_dev:
	input_free_device(input);

input_free_device() happily accepts NULL pointers.

Otherwise the patch looks good.

Thanks.
