Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: intel-mid: sfi_handle_*_dev() should check for pdata error code

Prevent sfi_handle_*_dev() to register device in case
intel_mid_sfi_get_pdata() failed to execute.

Since 'NULL' is a valid return value, this patch makes
sfi_handle_*_dev() functions to use IS_ERR() to validate returned pdata.
