I have no dgnc device in my laptop. After *insmod* and *rmmod* dgnc module,
I can re-insmod dgnc successfully. If dgnc is *rmmod*, the dgnc-file in /sys
will disappear.

Yes, I thought dgnc_init_module should be fixed. But I'm not familiar with
how to submitting patchset. I decide to fix dgnc_cleanup_module() first.

Maybe we can fix the *init* and *exit* like this:
static int __init dgnc_init_module(void)
{
int rc;
rc = dgnc_start();
if (rc < 0)
goto err1;
rc = pci_register_driver(&dgnc_driver)
if (rc <0) {
goto err1;
pr_warn("....");
}
rc = dgnc_create_driver_sysfiles(&dgnc_driver);
if (rc = 0)
goto err2;
return rc;
err2:
pci_unregister_driver(&dgnc_driver);
err1:
dgnc_end();
return rc;
}
static void dgnc_cleanup_module(void)
{
int i;
dgnc_remove_driver_sysfiles(&dgnc_driver);
for (i = 0; i < dgnc_NumBoards; ++i) {
dgnc_remove_ports_sysfiles(dgnc_Board[i]);
dgnc_tty_uninit(dgnc_Board[i]);
dgnc_cleanup_board(dgnc_Board[i]);
}
pci_unregister_driver(&dgnc_driver);
dgnc_end();
}
