Hello Mauro,

Changeset 43ac4401dca9 ("[media] media-device: split media
initialization and registration") broke media device register
into two separate functions, but introduced a BUG_ON() and
made media_device_init() void. It also introduced several
warnings.

Instead of adding BUG_ON(), let's revert to WARN_ON() and fix
the init code in a way that, if something goes wrong during
device init, driver probe will fail without causing the Kernel
to BUG.

I agree with your patch, in fact the first version of the media
split patch did exactly this and later media_device_init() was
converted to void and the BUG_ON() introduced to address some
feedback I got during the patches review.
