Hi,

This series fixes and tidies notifier cleanup in the qlogic Ethernet
drivers.

Patch 1 fixes netxen by unregistering the netdevice and inetaddr
notifiers if pci_register_driver() fails. Without this, module init can
return an error while leaving callbacks registered for a module that did
not load successfully.

Patch 2 keeps qlcnic's existing notifier cleanup error path under the
same CONFIG_INET guard as the notifier registration, avoiding an empty
if statement when CONFIG_INET is disabled.

Can Peng (2):
  netxen: unregister notifiers if PCI registration fails
  qlcnic: move notifier error cleanup under CONFIG_INET

netxen_init_module() registers the netdevice and inetaddr notifiers before
registering the PCI driver.  If pci_register_driver() fails, the function
returns the error directly and leaves both notifiers registered.

That leaves notifier callbacks installed for a module that failed to load.
Mirror the module exit path on this failure and unregister the notifiers
before returning the error.

qlcnic_init_module() registers the netdevice and inetaddr notifiers only
when CONFIG_INET is enabled, but the pci_register_driver() error handling
block is outside that guard.

Move the error check under CONFIG_INET together with the cleanup it
protects. This avoids an empty if statement when CONFIG_INET is disabled
and keeps the cleanup code structured like the guarded registration path.
