Don't add these error messages here.  kcalloc() already prints a much
better error message.

kfree(brd->SerialPorts);

Put a blank line after the declaration block.

The more traditional way to break up the long lines is:

		classp = tty_port_register_device(&brd->SerialPorts[i],
						  brd->SerialDriver,
						  brd->firstminor + i, NULL);
		dgap_create_tty_sysfs(&ch->ch_tun, classp);
		ch->ch_tun.un_sysfs = classp;

		classp = tty_port_register_device(&brd->PrinterPorts[i],
						  brd->PrintDriver,
						  brd->firstminor + i,
						  NULL);
		dgap_create_tty_sysfs(&ch->ch_pun, classp);
		ch->ch_pun.un_sysfs = classp;

(also i re-ordered the last two lines).

(also I wouldn't have sent this email at all if there hadn't been that
missing kfree()).
