Bug 98541

In function meye_probe() at drivers/media/pci/meye/meye.c:1592, the call to video_register_device() in line 1748 may return a negative error code, and thus function meye_probe() will return the value of variable ret. And, the function meye_probe() will return 0 at last when it runs well. However, when the call to video_register_device() in line 1748 return a negative error code, the value of ret is 0. So the function meye_probe() will return 0 to its caller functions when it runs error because of the failing call to video_register_device(), leading to a wrong return value of function meye_probe().
The related code snippets in meye_probe() is as following.

Generally, when the call to video_register_device() fails, the return value of caller functions should be different from another return value set when the call to video_register_device() succeeds, like the following codes in another file.

1493        err = video_register_device(dev->video_dev,VFL_TYPE_GRABBER,
1494                                    video_nr[core->nr]);
1495        if (err < 0) {
1496                printk(KERN_ERR "%s/0: can't register video device\n",
1497                       core->name);
1498                goto fail_unreg;
