Compiler says you can't move bgx before dev.

Venturing deeper into the bikesheeding territory but I'd leave the
variable declarations be and move init of adev before the check.
Matter of preference but calling something that needs to be error 
checked in variable init breaks the usual
	
	ret = func(some, arguments);
	if (ret)
		goto explosions;

flow.
