[PATCH 1/5] dell-laptop: fix a use-after-free error on the failure path

From: Alan Jenkins <hidden>
Date: 2009-08-19 14:17:34
Also in: linux-acpi, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 platform drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Hans de Goede, Ilpo Järvinen

dell_setup_rfkill() already cleans up the rfkill devices on failure.
So if it returns an error, we should not try to unregister the rfkill
devices.
