[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: Improve error handling

[Bera Yüzlü]

Remove unnecessary ret variable and goto exit pattern. The function now
returns immediately when an error occurs. Additionally, ensure that
intf_free_irq() is called when pm_netdev_open() fails to avoid leaving
the allocated IRQ uncleared.

No "v2" in the [PATCH] area?  It should look like:
	[PATCH v2] staging: rtl8723bs: Improve error handling

so, v3?

I have written a howto on error handling.

So after the ->intf_init() you need a deinit() etc.  The blog hopefully
explains.
