If via_ircc_open() fails, data structures of the driver left uninitialized, but probe (via_init_one()) returns zero. That can lead to null pointer dereference in via_remove_one(), since it does not check drvdata for NULL.
The patch implements proper error code propagation. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
