Here, I think you should call class_unregister to relase resource which
allocated before. And the same thing shoud be done in other exception exit.

Hi Hongbo,

Thank you for the feedback. Did you mean that bch_chardev_major should
be unregistered if the class_register() call fails? Because if it does,
there is no need to call class_unregister().

Can you please elaborate?
