    drivers/base/core: improve device_add() error handling, fix bugs
* silence several warnings by handling sysfs_create_link() failure * re-order some operations in error handling, to precisely reverse
      the order of operations, i.e. unwind properly.

Hm, what about driver-core-check-return-code-of-sysfs_create_link.patch
(merged with ...-fix.patch) which has been in -mm for a while?

No idea, I didn't check there. If someone else has a better patch... great! Let's merge it :)
