Or better yet, match it properly:

out_reg:
	/* Up the trigger_data count to make sure reg doesn't free it on failure */
	event_trigger_init(trigger_ops, trigger_data);
	ret = cmd_ops->reg(glob, trigger_ops, trigger_data, file);
	/*
	 * The above returns on success the # of functions enabled,
	 * but if it didn't find any functions it returns zero.
	 * Consider no functions a failure too.
	 */
	if (!ret) {
		cmd_ops->unreg(glob, trigger_ops, trigger_data, file);
		ret = -ENOENT;
	} else if (ret > 0)
		ret = 0;

	/* Down the counter of trigger_data or free it if not used anymore */
	event_trigger_free(trigger_ops, trigger_data);
 out:
	return ret;
