From 6155a3cf11a6d4ed102ef5a30f655d4d2a38076b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Romer Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2015 12:01:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: unisys: stop device registration before visorbus registration In cases where visorbus is compiled directly into the kernel, if visorbus registration fails for any reason, it is still possible for other drivers to call visorbus_register_visor_driver(), which could cause an oops. Prevent this by saving the result of the call to create_bus() in a static variable, and return an error code when the bus hasn't been registered successfully.
