[PATCH] drm/mcde: Fix missing platform_unregister_drivers() call in mcde_drm_register()

A problem about modprobe mcde_drm failed is triggered with the following
log given:
[ 2387.922993] Error: Driver 'mcde-dsi' is already registered, aborting...
[ 2387.924272] failed to register platform driver mcde_dsi_driver [mcde_drm]: -16
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'mcde_drm': Device or resource busy
The reason is that mcde_drm_register() returns platform_driver_register()
directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register()
fails, it returns without unregistering mcde_dsi_driver, resulting the
mcde_drm can never be installed later.
A simple call graph is shown as below:
mcde_drm_register()
platform_register_drivers() # mcde_dsi_driver are registered
platform_driver_register()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without unregister mcde_dsi_driver
Fixing this problem by checking the return value of
platform_driver_register() and do platform_unregister_drivers() if
error happened.
