2) Use a goto to unwind.  3) Release the other pdev stuff as well.
4)  Clean up the error handling for register_netdev() by using a goto
as well.

	err = register_netdev(ndev);
	if (err) {
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "net device registration failed.\n");
		goto cleanup_pdev;
	}

	err = qlge_health_create_reporters(qdev);
	if (err)
		goto unregister_netdev;

	...

	return 0;

unregister_netdev:
	unregister_netdev(ndev);
cleanup_pdev:
	qlge_release_all(pdev);
	pci_disable_device(pdev);
netdev_free:
	free_netdev(ndev);
devlink_free:
	devlink_free(devlink);

	return ret;
