Thank you for this catch.
Will fix in new version.

Will change to "return ret;" in next version

Will rewrite as:

     /* Register I2C slave */
     i2c_set_clientdata(client, ssif_bmc);
     ret = i2c_slave_register(client, ssif_bmc_cb);
     if (ret)
         misc_deregister(&ssif_bmc->miscdev);

     return ret;

Thanks for the review.
