SubjectRe: [PATCH] firmware: stratix10-svc: Fix some error handling paths in 'stratix10_svc_drv_probe()'

I suggest to reconsider software development consequences around
another implementation detail for such exception handling.

Would you like to take the possibility into account to avoid
the duplicate specification of this error code assignment
by adding another jump target?

- return -ENOMEM;
+ goto e_nomem;


>+ return 0;

+e_nomem:
+ ret = -ENOMEM;

>+err_free_kfifo:
>+ kfifo_free(&controller->svc_fifo);
> return ret;

By the way:
How do you think about to omit the error message “failed to allocate FIFO”
for a failed call of the function “kfifo_alloc”?

Regards,
Markus
