A problem about modprobe s5p_fimc failed is triggered with the
following log given:
[ 272.075275] Error: Driver 'exynos4-fimc' is already registered, aborting...
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 's5p_fimc': Device or resource busy
The reason is that fimc_md_init() returns platform_driver_register()
directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register()
failed, it returns without unregister fimc_driver, resulting the
s5p_fimc can never be installed later.
A simple call graph is shown as below:
fimc_md_init()
fimc_register_driver() # register fimc_driver
platform_driver_register()
platform_driver_register()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
dev = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without unregister fimc_driver
Fix by unregister fimc_driver when platform_driver_register() returns
error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
