There's always the possibility that if owning Motorola is seen to be a liability, then Google could just sell it again, but hang on to the patents that it appears were the main target of the acquisition. I don't expect that to happen in practice, but it's not as if Google have painted themselves into a corner they can't get out of if necessary.
