[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.
