[PATCH 2/4] of/platform: return error on of_platform_device_create_pdata failure

From: Rob Herring
Date: Wed May 07 2014 - 17:50:15 EST


From: Rob Herring <robh@xxxxxxxxxx>

of_platform_populate does not return an error if creating the platform
device fails. This means almost any error from driver core cannot be
detected by the caller. Fix this.
