Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] net: 3com: typhoon: typhoon_init_one: fix incorrect return values

In a few cases the err-variable is not set to a negative error code if a
function call in typhoon_init_one() fails and thus 0 is returned
instead.
It may be better to set err to the appropriate negative error
code before returning.
