It also appears to me upon further inspection that the existing code has
other problems. In particular, once mpt_mapresources() has returned
with a nonzero error code, it looks like iounmap() should be called, but
it is not in the case of a failed allocation of reset_work_q. I'm also
not sure why pci_release_selected_regions() is only called for the case
of mpt_do_ioc_recovery() returning != -5 when it is called whenever
there is a failed allocation of reset_work_q.

Consider the attached patch (untested, because I don't have hardware):
It shows what I would do for labels & error handling. If the rc != -5
case of return from mpt_do_ioc_recovery() could be eliminated, then
another label "out_free_fw_event_q:" could be added prior to the other
error cases at the end, and all the code after the printk() in that path
could be replaced by "goto out_free_fw_event_q;"

if ((r = mpt_do_ioc_recovery(ioc, MPT_HOSTEVENT_IOC_BRINGUP,
CAN_SLEEP)) != 0){
printk(MYIOC_s_ERR_FMT "didn't initialize properly! (%d)\n",
ioc->name, r);
goto out_free_fw_event_q;
}
...

out_free_fw_event_q:
destroy_workqueue(ioc->fw_event_q);
ioc->fw_event_q = NULL;

out_remove_ioc:
...

However I do not know if that change is legitimate.
