Subject: [PATCH 27/80] serial_8250: pci_enable_device fail is not fully handled

From: Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com>

<rmk> talking about leaks - I noticed that the 'check return of
pci_enable_dev()' in the 8250 pci resume function finally made it in
pite my objections against it (causing stuff in higher levels to leak).
