Subject: [PATCH] staging/sbe-2t3e3: error path cleanup in t3e3_init_channel
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:00:01 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342701001-5424-1-git-send-email-devendra.aaru@gmail.com> (raw)

    a) if alloc_hdlcdev fails, we are going into the free_regions,
and returning out the err (which is 0 by the prev call),
       return -ENOMEM if this function fail.

    b) setup_device also can fail, as it calls around the register_hdlc_dev which
is again a macro of the register_netdev.

       take the error from the setup_device and return it out in error condition

    c) request_irq when fails, we are freeing requested mem regions and disabling
the pci device(?) and returning err which is agian 0 here.

      take the error from request_irq and err path will take care of returning it.

as if we return 0 , at the init function, t3e3_init_card, we have a success case
and if there are two channels we call this function again, having the result of
it completely unknown.

This result in having the probe return 0, unloading the driver may (not) cause
ambigous result.
