If things fail in ljca_new_client_device() before
auxiliary_device_init() gets called (or if that call fails)
then auxiliary_device_uninit() will NOT be called leading to
a memory-leak.
So this patch is no good as is.
To properly fix this you must make ljca_new_client_device()
always take ownership of the passed in platform_data and
make it also kfree() the passed in platform_data on errors
which happen before auxiliary_device_init() succeeds.

Hans
