If p54u_load_firmware() fails, p54u_probe() does not deallocate
already allocated resources. The patch adds proper failure handling.

The load_firmware puts down the reference
in case of error. Only free is required here.

No, p54u_load_firmware() puts down reference that was got up by itself.
So we still have to put down reference got up in p54u_probe().

No, the put is required too... But let me explain:
p54u_load_firmware calls usb_get_dev(udev) before it requests the firmware
load. The Reason is: the firmware callback is usually run in another thread
(usually it's pretty quick, but due to timeouts it could take up to 60 seconds
- or at least it did when I wrote it). Therefore I found it appropriate to give
that request callback its "reference++" as it needs the "udev" too (e.g.: for
dev_info, dev_err and releasing the driver if the device couldn't be
initialized).
Regards,
Christian

Thanks Christian and Alexey, you answered my next question as well :-).
