You seem to criticize my pcim_iounmap_region() etc. in other unwind
paths, too. I think your criticism is often justified. This driver
here, however, was the one which made me suspicious and hesitate and
removing those calls; because of the code below:
pcim_iounmap_region(pdev, PCI_PTP_BAR_NO);
error_free:
devm_kfree(dev, clock);
error:
/* For `cavium_ptp_get()` we need to differentiate between the case
* when the core has not tried to probe this device and the case when
* the probe failed. In the later case we pretend that the
* initialization was successful and keep the error in
* `dev->driver_data`.
*/
pci_set_drvdata(pdev, ERR_PTR(err));
return 0;
}
So in case of an error they return 0 and do... stuff.
I don't want to touch that without someone who maintains (and, ideally,
understands) the code details what's going on here.
