From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx> The callers of iwl_drv_start() are probe functions. If a probe function returns 0, it means it succeeded. So if NULL was returned by iwl_drv_start(), it would be considered as a success. Fix this by returning -ENOMEM if the driver struct allocation fails in iwl_drv_start().
