Subject: [PATCH] bus: sunxi-rsb: Fix the return value of sunxi_rsb_device_create()

This code is really spurious.
It always returns an ERR_PTR, even when err is known to be 0 and calls
put_device() after a successful device_register() call.

It is likely that the return statement in the normal path is missing.
Add 'return rdev;' to fix it.

Fixes: d787dcdb9c8f ("bus: sunxi-rsb: Add driver for Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus")

This patch is completely speculative and compile tested only.
