Subject: [PATCH 4.11 56/78] drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c: checking for NULL instead of IS_ERR()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 8128a31eaadbcdfa37774bbd28f3f00bac69996a upstream.

c2port_device_register() never returns NULL, it uses error pointers.
