Josh Wu a749d13acd mtd: atmel_nand: fix bug driver will in a dead lock if no nand detected
In the atmel driver probe function, the code shows like following:
  atmel_nand_probe(...) {
        ...

  err_nand_ioremap:
        platform_driver_unregister(&atmel_nand_nfc_driver);
        return res;
  }

If no nand flash detected, the driver probe function will goto
err_nand_ioremap label.
Then platform_driver_unregister() will be called. It will get the
lock of atmel_nand device since it is parent of nfc_device. The
problem is the lock is already hold by atmel_nand_probe itself.
So system will be in a dead lock.

This patch just simply removed to platform_driver_unregister() call.
When atmel_nand driver is quit the platform_driver_unregister() will
be called in atmel_nand_remove().

[Brian: the NAND platform probe really has no business
 registering/unregistering another driver; this fixes the deadlock, but
 we should follow up the likely racy behavior here with a better
 architecture]
