PATCH 1/2 lp8727_charger: free_irq when lp8727_register_psy fail

actually the driver does a request_threaded_irq and after this it calls lp8727_register_psy, and if it fails it doesn't free the irqs that it registered to

Technically, it looks OK. But the irq registration logic is sill broken, and the hidden issue is much more serious.

1. lp8727_init_device() -> the function enables interrupts in hw;
2. lp8727_intr_config() -> the function requests interrupts, so CPU is now able to process them;
3. lp8727_register_psy() -> the function allocates power supply objects.

Now, the problem will arise if interrupt comes between "2." and "3.", the interrupt service routine will cause NULL dereference.

So, what you really want to fix the driver is to reorder "2." and "3.", and on error condition call lp8727_unregister_psy().

Thanks,

I think i need to learn more in order to touch this path. will give a try.
