Hi Christophe,

I agree we are missing a airoha_ppe_deinit() call in the probe error path,
but we should move it above after stopping the NAPI since if airoha_hw_init()
fails we will undo the work done by airoha_ppe_init(). Something like:

diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_eth.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_eth.c
index 16c7896f931f..37d9678798d1 100644
--- a/drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_eth.c
+++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_eth.c
@@ -2959,6 +2959,7 @@ static int airoha_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
error_napi_stop:
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(eth->qdma); i++)
airoha_qdma_stop_napi(&eth->qdma[i]);
+ airoha_ppe_init(eth);
error_hw_cleanup:
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(eth->qdma); i++)
airoha_hw_cleanup(&eth->qdma[i]);


Agree?

Regards,
Lorenzo
