Ignore previous patch (mail client linewrap issue...)
Some drivers do not handle failure of misc_register.
Added return value checks appropriately in defaulting drivers
Tested with:
- allmodconfig
- Manually tweaking Kconfig/Makefiles to make sure that the changed
files compiles without any errors/warnings

Split up by driver/subsystem, please.

etc
NAK on the APM changes. APM can do its work just fine even if
it failed to register a device file; it will just lack some
user interface/control bits.

This should just print a warning (but not fail) if misc_register()
returned failure.
