On attempt to register a dynamic minor misc device its minor number is updated to a virtual minor number prior to device_create() call, however on error path misc->minor == MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR is not restored. Following the rule of thumb that a function returning an error must not change the state of the caller, assign MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR back. The problem is met in a sutuation, when subsys_initcall(misc_init) is not yet called and misc_class is not created, but misc_register() modifies statically defined ".minor = MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR", therefore implicitly changing the client's logic on next attempt (e.g. retrying from deferred list) to register a misc device, whose minor number is converted from dynamic to some unknown static one.
