Subject: firmware: vpd: Fix platform driver and device registration/unregistration

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

commit 0631fb8b027f5968c2f5031f0b3ff7be3e4bebcc upstream.

The driver exit function needs to unregister both platform device and
driver. Also, during registration, register driver first and perform
error checks.
