I guess our mails crossed.  As in the previous patch I think
platform_device_del() should still be called, in the fail_rfkill case.

Previously platform_device_del() was required after
platform_device_add(), if we bailed out because of a failure in
sysfs_create_group().  I don't think that requirement is removed by
replacing sysfs_create_group() with setup_rfkill().
