This is wrong.  If platform is NULL, PTR_ERR() will return zero, which
will be interpreted as success.  Please, avoid using IS_ERR_OR_NULL(),
it leads to exactly this kind of cockup - and it's unnecessary here
because platform_device_register_full() does not return NULL.

Yes, that's exactly correct.
