failure case by propagating the error from macb_probe, but gcc does not realize this and incorrectly warns about a later use of those: In file included from /git/arm-soc/drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c:12:0: drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.c: In function 'macb_probe':
Hm, didn't these 2 lines get swapped by chance?
