Marcos,

Thanks!

The problem removing the label is that it will require some more work
naming the labels. See:
if (!vpbe_dev->amp) {
...
	goto vpbe_fail_amp_register;

If I just remove the label vpbe_fail_amp_register, the label names
will not make sense any more as the next label is
vpbe_fail_sd_register. So I will need to change the name to something
different or rename all labels to out1, out2, out3 or err1, err2,
err3, or ....

Any suggestions?
