If paint for the bike shed is still required,
my preferences are:

If unwinding is required, gotos are useful
and the last return should be the error case.

If no unwinding is required, gotos tend to be
distracting and the last return should be the
no error case.

Trevor's new code does:

	if (port->serial->type->ioctl)
		return port->serial->type->ioctl(tty, file, cmd, arg);
	return -ENOIOCTLCMD;

where I would have preferred:

	if (!port->serial->type->ioctl)
		return -ENOIOCTLCMD;

	return port->serial->type->ioctl(tty, file, cmd, arg);
