Subject: [PATCHv2 1/1 net-next] net: usb: cdc-ether: unify error handling in probe
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 09:45:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312084612.1469853-1-oneukum@suse.com> (raw)
usbnet_generic_cdc_bind() is duplicating the error handling
multiple times. That is bad. Unify it with jumps.
V2: Update error logging with every cause a unique message
