If probe fails before ieee80211_register_hw() is successfully done,
ieee80211_unregister_hw() will be called anyway. This may lead to various
bugs as the implementation of ieee80211_unregister_hw() assumes that
ieee80211_register_hw() has been called.
Divide error handling section into relevant subsections, so that
ieee80211_unregister_hw() is called only when it is appropriate. Correct
the order of the calls: ieee80211_unregister_hw() should go before
plfxlc_mac_release(). Also move ieee80211_free_hw() to plfxlc_mac_release()
as it supposed to be the opposite to plfxlc_mac_alloc_hw() that calls
ieee80211_alloc_hw().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
