Subject: [PATCH] leds-pca9532: Fix memory leak and properly handle errors

When the registration fails, we need to release the memory we allocated. Also
we need to save the error from led_classdev_register and propagate it up, else
we'll return success, even if we failed.

I don't have the hardware. Riku, can you please test if it still works as 
expected.
