Not sure this is correct.  Without the patch, we return with rc == 0
 (set by the efx->type->init() call just above), which seems reasonable
 as we successfully finished a RESET_TYPE_DISABLE.
The label name 'fail:' might be misleading; it does seem like this is
 intended behaviour.
Have you tested this at all?

Note that the sfc driver (efx_common.c) does much the same thing as the
 code here before your patch.
