In register_device, the return value of ida_simple_get is unchecked, 
in witch ida_simple_get will use an invalid index value.

To address this issue, index should be checked after ida_simple_get. When
the index value is abnormal, a warning message should be printed and the
value should be recorded, then jump to 'err'.
