How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

   Subject:
   [PATCH v2] net: enetc: Complete exception handling in enetc_pci_mdio_probe()

   Change description:
   A call of the function “enetc_hw_alloc” can fail here.
   The corresponding system resources were not released then.
   Thus move a call of the function “iounmap” behind
   the label “err_hw_alloc”.

Would you like to reduce the labels for this function implementation instead?

Regards,
Markus
