Hi Aviad

Please don't add a driver version. There was a discussion about this
recently, how pointless it is.

Using the devm_ functions makes your cleanup code simpler when
handling memory.

Above you used dev_err, here you used pr_err(). Please be consistent.

probably not a good idea to use netif_err, if register_netdev just
failed. dev_err() would be better.
