Subject: [PATCH] mfd-dm355evm_msp: One function call less in add_child() after
 error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 13:56:42 +0100

The platform_device_put() function was called in one case by the
add_child() function during error handling even if the passed
variable "pdev" contained a null pointer.

Implementation details could be improved by the adjustment of jump targets
according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
