I'd suggest to break out the memory freeing from aq_nic_deinit(),
and conversely allocating from aq_nic_init(). Then explicitly call
free / alloc from where aq_nic_deinit() / aq_nic_init() are called.

The booleans passed into init functions are pretty error prone.
Pretty quickly one needs to grep the entire driver to find which
callsites pass what.
