Thanks, this is better. however, if pci_register_driver() returns 0
while ath10k_ahb_init() returns error, it's better to unregister the
first bus, here is my another proposal:

         int ret;

         ret = pci_register_driver(&ath10k_pci_driver);
         if (ret) {
                 printk(KERN_ERR "failed to register ath10k pci driver: 
%d\n",
                        ret);
                 return ret;
         }

         ret = ath10k_ahb_init();
         if (ret) {
                 printk(KERN_ERR "ahb init failed: %d\n", ret);
                 pci_unregister_driver(&ath10k_pci_driver);
                 return ret;
         }

         return 0;

If you agree, I will send v2 with this.
