Hi,

I'm not sure this is correct.

auxiliary_device_uninit() which is called if auxiliary_device_add() 
fails should already do the clean-up.

So I would say that this patch adds a double-free issue and should not 
be applied.

If I'm right, note that Stephen has already added a "Applied to clk-next"
