3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <[email protected]> commit 68c3ed6fa7e0d69529ced772d650ab128916a81d upstream. The return value of power_supply_register() call was not checked and even on error probe() function returned 0. If registering failed then during unbind the driver tried to unregister power supply which was not actually registered. This could lead to memory corruption because power_supply_unregister() unconditionally cleans up given power supply.
