Re: [PATCH 4/7] lpfc 8.1.5 : Fix cleanup code in the lpfc_pci_probe_one() error code path

[James Smart <James.Smart@Emulex.Com>]

Ok - so what's going on here is that the pci subsystem treated any
positive (not just zero) return value as success. We returned error codes,
but not negative error codes. Thus, the pci subsystem was calling our
remove function even though we returned an error status in our probe
function.

the updated patch will be posted shortly.
