[PATCH v2] ARM: imx: fix error handling

If we fail to allocate struct platform_device pdev we
dereference it after the goto label err.

I have rearranged the error handling a bit to fix the issue
and also make it more clear.

v2: Changed to return -ENOMEM instead of ret where possible and
    updated the subject line.
