Subject: [PATCH 0/7] staging: vt6656: clean-up error path on init

This patchset aims to cleanup vt6656 driver's error path during the
initialization process.

During a call to vnt_start(), none of the functions called would return
a meaningful error code nor handle the one returned from the functions
they call themselves.

The first patch of the series fixes a potential NULL pointer dereferencing.
All the other patches update function's error management workflow and prototype
when needed.

More functions would need to be updated, but focusing on initialization
process force to change only a reasonable amount of code.

Thank you,
Quentin
