Simplify to:

	rc = edac_device_add_device(...
	if (rc)
		edac_device_free_ctl_info(..

	return rc;

Dropping the comma here is good style because it forces us to add
a comma if we were to add an element after the sentinel,
hopefully causing us to question why we're doing that in the
first place.

platform_driver_register() sets this so we can drop this
assignment here.

This could be simplified to

	rc = ...
	if (rc)
		edac_printk(...

	return rc;

Or even just 'return platform_driver_register()' and not care
about printing a message in that case because the end-user can't
do anything with the message anyway.
