mainlining shenanigans

If platform bus driver registration is failed then, accessing platform bus spin lock (&drv->driver.bus->p->klist_drivers.k_lock) in __platform_driver_probe() without verifying the return value __platform_driver_register() can lead to NULL pointer exception. So check the return value before attempting the spin lock. One such example is below: For a custom usecase, I have intentionally failed the platform bus registration and I expected all the platform device/driver registrations to fail gracefully. But I came across this panic issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
