Since you've moved the request_irq() down, you'll need to adjust
the error handling so that it undoes side effects made by this
function up until this point.

F.e. netif_device_attach() has to be undone for one thing.

Next, b44_init_rings() allocates memory that you must now free.

Etc. etc. etc.

This change is not so simple. :-)
