It's not obvious to me how e3f30d563a38 is related.  Can you elucidate
the connection?

Thanks for the fix.  The mix of error recovery styles (cleanup here at
the point of falure vs. goto different cleanup steps at the end) makes
this kind of hard to understand.

I see that this cleanup is similar to what's done in
pci_scan_device(), which does help.  Did you consider making a helper
here with structure similar to pci_scan_device(), e.g., a
pci_iov_scan_device()?  I wonder if that could make the error handling
here simpler?
