Subject: [PATCH 3.11 069/182] mfd: max8997: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference on i2c_new_dummy error

3.11.10.9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@...sung.com>

commit 97dc4ed3fa377ec91bb60ba98b70d645c2099384 upstream.

During probe the driver allocates dummy I2C devices for RTC, haptic and
MUIC with i2c_new_dummy() but it does not check the return value of this
calls.

In case of error (i2c_new_device(): memory allocation failure or I2C
address cannot be used) this function returns NULL which is later used
by i2c_unregister_device().

If i2c_new_dummy() fails for RTC, haptic or MUIC devices, fail also the
probe for main MFD driver.
