[PATCH 2/2] power: charger-manager: Fix a bug when it unregistersnotifier block of extcon.

From: Jonghwa Lee
Date: Tue Jun 25 2013 - 01:03:31 EST


This patch prevents NULL pointer error cauesed by unregistering unregistered
exton notifier block. At the probing time of charger manager, it tries to
remove extcon notifier block when it fails to initialize them. It has to be
applied for only registered one. Otherwise, it'd make kernel panic. To make it
work right, it checks extcon_specific_cable_nb's extcon_dev node. If extcon
cable notifier block was registered successfully, it has proper extcon_dev
pointer if not so it has NULL pointer.
