Subject: [001/129] hwmon: (ads7871) Fix ads7871_probe error paths

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@...il.com>

commit c12c507d7185fe4e8ada7ed9832957576eefecf8 upstream.

1. remove 'status' variable
2. remove unneeded initialization of 'err' variable
3. return missing error code if sysfs_create_group fail.
4. fix the init sequence as:
   - check hardware existence
   - kzalloc for ads7871_data
   - sysfs_create_group
   - hwmon_device_register
