Hi Dominik,

Thank you for the review. You're right on all three points:

The fmh_gpib_attach_impl() function has multiple resource leaks in its
error handling paths. When any initialization step fails, the function
returns early without properly releasing previously acquired resources.

Fix by adding proper error handling labels and cleanup code that releases
resources in the reverse order they were acquired.

Replacing `return -errno` with `retval = -errno` just to have `return retval`
directly under it does not convince me.
Early error returns can just use return -ENODEV directly

Same here, also introducing unnecessary newline.
Will remove the extra newline

I don't think this assignment should be moved before request_irq.

Thanks,
Dominik Karol
e_priv->irq = irq; should stay after request_irq() succeeds - my concern about uninitialized values in error paths was incorrect since err_iounmap_fifo doesn't use e_priv->irq

I'll fix these issues and resubmit.

Best regards,
Hongling Zeng
