For the fm801 gameport case it is fine - it's just one more check in the
_probe() function, performing the same error path as other cases do.

ALSA case has already been solved by calling snd_card_disconnect() on
error path.

But I agree that sk98lin and parport_serial_pci patches are likely broken.

Thanks,
