my review agent notes:
**Misleading label name `err_free_irq`**
The label name implies IRQ teardown, but the IRQs registered via
`devm_request_irq()` are automatically freed on device detach — no explicit
free is needed here. This label only frees NAPI/netdev resources. Suggest
renaming to `err_free_ext_napi` or `err_free_napi` to match the actual
operation and avoid confusing future readers.
No need to post a new version just for this -- I'll make this change in my
'pending' branch if the reviewers are otherwise ok with your patch
