[PATCH v1] PNP: Release protocol device on registration failure

[Yuho Choi <dbgh9129@gmail.com>]

pnp_register_protocol() adds a protocol to the PNP list before calling
device_register(). If device registration fails, pnp_remove_protocol() only
removes the list entry and leaves the device-core reference acquired by
device_initialize() held.

Give static protocol devices a release callback and drop the reference on
registration failure. Also stop PNP ACPI device enumeration when protocol
registration fails, instead of using an unregistered protocol device as a
parent.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
