No need to use goto to jump over the return chan ? chan : ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER); We can just revert the check and return right there. Do not fail the channel request if the chan->name allocation fails, but print a warning about it. Change the dev_err to dev_warn if sysfs_create_link() fails as it is not fatal. Only attempt to remove the DMA_SLAVE_NAME symlink if it is created - or it was attempted to be created.
