I recently discovered on my zalon that if the attachment fails because
of a bus misconfiguration (I scrapped my HVD array, so the card is now
unterminated) then the system oopses. The reason is that if
ncr_attach() returns NULL (signalling failure) that NULL is passed by
the goto failed straight into ncr_detach() which oopses.
The fix is just to return -ENODEV in this case.
