Subject: Re: [PATCH] mfd: 88pm800: Fix I2C device resource leak if probe fails

> During probe the driver allocates two dummy I2C devices for subchips in

> regmaps for these subchips. If any of these steps fail then these dummy
> I2C devices are not freed and resources leak.

> On pm800_pages_init() fail the driver must call pm800_pages_exit() to

If you're going to do this, then can you clean-up the superfluous
goto labels please?
