If i2c device probing fails, then there is no driver to dereference after calling i2c_new_device(). Stop assuming that probing will always succeed, to avoid NULL pointer dereferences. We have an easier access to the driver anyway.
Reported-by: Tim Shepard shep@alum.mit.edu Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare khali@linux-fr.org Cc: Johannes Berg johannes@sipsolutions.net --- The code is similar to the one in therm_adt746x, for which Tim reported a real-world oops, so it should be fixed ASAP.
