You seem to criticize my pcim_iounmap_region() etc. in other unwind
paths, too. I think your criticism is often justified. This driver
here, however, was the one which made me suspicious and hesitate and
removing those calls; because of the code below:


	pcim_iounmap_region(pdev, PCI_PTP_BAR_NO);

error_free:
	devm_kfree(dev, clock);

error:
	/* For `cavium_ptp_get()` we need to differentiate between the case
	 * when the core has not tried to probe this device and the case when
	 * the probe failed.  In the later case we pretend that the
	 * initialization was successful and keep the error in
	 * `dev->driver_data`.
	 */
	pci_set_drvdata(pdev, ERR_PTR(err));
	return 0;
}


So in case of an error they return 0 and do... stuff.

I don't want to touch that without someone who maintains (and, ideally,
understands) the code details what's going on here.
