Hi,

Thank you for your patch.

Right, which is bad, especially since the upstream code actually still has this bug.

NACK.

Note that upstream in drivers/platform/x86/x86-android-tablets/core.c
the same issue is also present around line 447:

                pdevs[pdev_count] = platform_device_register_data(&pdev->dev, "gpio-keys",
                                                                  PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO,
                                                                  &pdata, sizeof(pdata));
                if (IS_ERR(pdevs[pdev_count])) {
                        x86_android_tablet_remove(pdev);
                        return PTR_ERR(pdevs[pdev_count]);
                }
                pdev_count++;

Please submit a fix for both issues upstream, once that has been merged
you can submit a backport with a proper upstream commit reference.

Regards,

Hans
