The logic here makes no sense.

You want to take this branch on success, not failure.  pci_set_dma_mask()
returns 0 on success.

Something like:

	ret = pci_set_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
	if (ret ||
	    (ret = pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)))) {
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "ERR: No usable DMA "
			"configuration, aborting\n");
		goto err_disable_device;
	}
