If pci_register_driver() fails then dgnc_NumBoards can never be more than zero. dgnc_NumBoards is incremented only at the end of a successful probe. And moreover if the pci driver has failed to register then we never need to unregister it. Lets just print the warning, perform the cleanup and exit with the error code.
