Actually it should not be called once input_unregister_device() is
called. If you check, you will see that in probe() we set the pointer to
input device to NULL after calling unregister, which makes subsequent
call to input_free_device() a noop. We did that so that we have single
error handling flow.

I dropped this paragraph.

If you want to drop error messages, please send a separate patch with
justification.

I restored error messgaes, and applied.

Thank you.
