[PATCH] i2c: npcm7xx: Fix error handling in npcm_i2c_init()

A problem about i2c-npcm7xx create debugfs failed is triggered with the
following log given:

 [  173.827310] debugfs: Directory 'npcm_i2c' with parent '/' already present!

The reason is that npcm_i2c_init() returns platform_driver_register()
directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register()
failed, it returns without destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting
the debugfs of npcm_i2c can never be created later.

 npcm_i2c_init()
   debugfs_create_dir() # create debugfs directory
   platform_driver_register()
     driver_register()
       bus_add_driver()
         priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
   # return without destroy debugfs directory

Fix by removing debugfs when platform_driver_register() returns error.
