Subject: [PATCH 0/2] dmi-id: export oem strings to sysfs 

The oem strings in DMI BIOS have been parsed and stored as dmi devices
in dmi_scan.c but they are not exported to userspace via sysfs.

The series of patches 1/2) fix the error exit code which may cause kernel
panic if error happened during adding the oem strings to sysfs, and (2/2)
export oem strings to a new group "oem" under sysfs device 
/sys/class/dmi/id.

Alle Hung (2):
  dmi-id: don't free dev structure after calling device_register
  dmi-id: add dmi/id/oem group for exporting oem strings to sysfs
