I think the hash for that commit is acb3f35f920b.

However, I also think this problem was introduced by the first hunk of
5b3dc6dda6b1 ("sunhme: Regularize probe errors").

Which is:

--- a/drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunhme.c
+++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/sun/sunhme.c
@@ -2945,7 +2945,6 @@ static int happy_meal_pci_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev,
 	if (err)
 		goto err_out;
 	pci_set_master(pdev);
-	err = -ENODEV;
 
 	if (!strcmp(prom_name, "SUNW,qfe") || !strcmp(prom_name, "qfe")) {
 		qp = quattro_pci_find(pdev);


Which leads me to wonder if simpler fixes would be either:

1) Reverting the hunk above
2) Or, more in keeping with the rest of that patch,
   explicitly setting err before branching to err_out,
   as you your patch does, but without other logic changes.

   Something like this (*compile tested only!*:

+			err = -ENOMEM;
 			goto err_out;
+		}
 	}
 
 	dev = devm_alloc_etherdev(&pdev->dev, sizeof(struct happy_meal));

Also, I am curious why happy_meal_pci_probe() doesn't just return instaed
of branching to err_out. As err_out only returns err.  I guess there is a
reason for it. But simply returning would probably simplify error handling.
(I'm not suggesting that approach for this fix.)
