A problem about insmod megachips-stdpxxxx-ge-b850v3-fw.ko failed is
triggered with the following log given:
[ 4497.981497] Error: Driver 'stdp4028-ge-b850v3-fw' is already registered, aborting...
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module megachips-stdpxxxx-ge-b850v3-fw.ko: Device or resource busy
The reason is that stdpxxxx_ge_b850v3_init() returns i2c_add_driver()
directly without checking its return value, if i2c_add_driver() failed,
it returns without calling i2c_del_driver() on the previous i2c driver,
resulting the megachips-stdpxxxx-ge-b850v3-fw can never be installed
later.
A simple call graph is shown as below:
stdpxxxx_ge_b850v3_init()
i2c_add_driver(&stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_driver)
i2c_add_driver(&stdp2690_ge_b850v3_fw_driver)
i2c_register_driver()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without delete stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_driver
Fix by calling i2c_del_driver() on stdp4028_ge_b850v3_fw_driver when
i2c_add_driver() returns error.
