Subject: Re: [PATCH] mfd: sec-core: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference
 when i2c_new_dummy error

> During probe the sec-core driver allocates dummy I2C device for RTC with

> (i2c_new_device(): memory allocation failure or I2C address cannot be

> If i2c_new_dummy() fails for RTC device, fail also the probe for main
