Something like:

int et131x_open(struct net_device *netdev)
{
	add_timer(...)

	err = request_irq(...)
	if (err < 0)
		goto release_timer;

	et131x_start(...)

out:
	return err;

release_timer:
	blah;
	goto out;
}

Same thing with et131x_close / et131x_stop. You only use et131x_{start/stop}
for suspend/resume : one error path is gone away.
