I only took a quick look, so I may have overlooked something, so bear with 
me.

fc_attach_transport() allocates memory with kzalloc. If either call fails 
the other may have succeeded and we'll leak the memory allocated to one of 
them.

Shouldn't we be kfree()'ing the two variables before the 'return -ENODEV'?
