In ssif_probe error path the i2c client is left hanging, so that
ssif_platform_remove will remove the client. But it is quite
possible that ssif would never call an i2c_new_device.
This condition would lead to kernel crash as below.
To fix this leave only the client ssif registered hanging in error
path. All other non-registered clients are set to NULL.
