It would be nice if we could avoid this, it looks a bit odd.

Can't we do something like:

-For all goto's after request_threaded_irq() success case:
jump to a label that also cleans up the IRQ.

For failures before or at request_threaded_irq(), jump to
a label that does not call free_irq().



pci_epf_test_disable_doorbell() should probably return error
if (!epf_test->db_bar.size)

(before pci_epf_test_disable_doorbell() calls free_irq())

pci_epf_test_disable_doorbell() should probably also memset
epf_test->db_bar.


Kind regards,
