[PATCH] mfd: ab8500: fix child device leaks on probe failure

[Guangshuo Li <lgs201920130244@gmail.com>]

ab8500_probe() registers MFD child devices before completing the
remaining device initialization.

On AB8540, the main MFD device batch may be registered successfully
before registration of the cut-specific batch fails. In that case,
the probe returns without removing the child devices registered by
the earlier mfd_add_devices() call.

The same issue occurs when sysfs group creation fails after the MFD
children have been registered. Since the probe returns an error, there
is no later teardown path to unregister those devices.

Call mfd_remove_devices() on these error paths so that MFD child
devices successfully registered earlier in the probe are properly
unregistered and released.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.

Fixes: 9c717cf3fa16 ("mfd: ab8500-core: Add device for new RTC version for AB8540 cut2")
