From: Devendra Naga <devendrana...@gmail.com>
The class_create function can return a pointer with an error code
stuffed inside it if it fails. Handled it to make sure
device_register doesn't get an invalid pointer.
Also removed assignment of rc to 0 in the beginning of function
because it gets changed after the call to register_chrdev function.
