I suggest to take another look at a provided tag “Fixes”.
To which commit would you like to refer to for the proposed adjustment of
the function “mac_sonic_platform_probe”?

Would you find numbered labels unwanted according to a possible interpretation
related to “GW-BASIC” identifier selection?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst?id=e99332e7b4cda6e60f5b5916cf9943a79dbef902#n460

Can programming preferences evolve into the direction of “say what the goto does”?

Regards,
Markus
