In fact, before that commit, the probe was always returning 0, so there was no need for an error handling path. FYI, commit 15b99ac17295 ("[PATCH] pcmcia: add return value to _config() functions") messed up many drivers for the same reason. I sent a few patches to see if there was an interest to fix these (really) old drivers, most linked with pcmcia which seems to slowly be removed from the kernel. So I'm a bit unsure if fixing it really matters. Let see if I collect some other R-b tags for the other patches.
