Hi,

it's incredible how much cleanups and fixes you find in this
handful of drivers... It's very much appreciated!

But also hp_wmi_input_setup() call should get checked and if it
fails, the previous wmi_install_notify_handler() must get uninstalled
again. Hm, probably the whole driver shouldn't load then and
the error code from hp_wmi_input_setup() can be returned in
hp_wmi_init(void).

Do you mind to incorporate above if you agree.

Thanks,

   Thomas

Checking hp_wmi_input_setup() is already done in my previous patch.
( which is already merged in platform-driver-x86 tree.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mjg59/platform-drivers-x86.git;a=commitdiff;h=b035d5f9fcb6cd6bba44b764b17d885f4d960d37
).
Thus this patch only adds the return value checking for
input_allocate_device() in hp_wmi_input_setup().

Axel
