Hi,


During global rework of power supply register API I found possible
issues related to not checked return value.

The power_supply_register() return value was ignored and during driver
removal the power supply was always unregistered. This theoretically
could lead to invalid memory accesses. However I did not reproduce
the issue (only code analysis).

Affected drivers:
1. twl4030_madc
2. compal-laptop
3. ipaq_micro_battery

I prepared patches but DID NOT test them. Only compilation + sparse
 + smatch + coccicheck.

I am kindly asking for review and testing.


P.S. The acpi/sbs.c driver has the same issue. Before unregistering
power supply it checks if sbs->charger.dev is non-NULL... which will
be non-NULL in most error-paths. However the driver is little more
complicated so fixing this without doing tests would be very
error-prone.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
