patch "staging: android: ion_test: fix check of" added to staging-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: android: ion_test: fix check of

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: staging: android: ion_test: fix check of
platform_device_register_simple() error code

On error platform_device_register_simple() returns ERR_PTR() value, check for NULL always fails. The change corrects the check itself and propagates the returned error upwards.
