In a very peculiar case when probing and registering with the secondary
DSI host succeeds, but the OF backlight or DSI attachment fails, the
primary DSI device is automatically cleaned up, but the secondary one
is not, leading to -EEXIST when the driver core tries to handle
-EPROBE_DEFER.

Unregister the DSI1 device manually on failure to prevent that.

If this is not a dual-DSI case, nt->dsi[1] will be NULL: I agree it's still
fine as in the kernel won't crash in that case, but for logical correctness
I would still account for that:

Same here, please add a check for num_dsis.
Right, I'll send an incremental patch to fix the fix, thanks
for spotting this!
