When fail to call sysfs_create_group(), it should recycle resources and return the error. This patch fix for processing failure of sysfs_create_group().IIRC, the reasoning behind the current code is that a failure to create sysfs entries is not critical, as it doesn't impact the correct functioning of the core of the driver.
That's correct -- that was exactly my reasoning behind this code. -- Michal Januszewski, Gentoo Linux Developer http://people.gentoo.org/spock
