  Resent in plain text, sorry for the previous HTML.

Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@huawei.com> identified by inspection bugs in the error path of hdlcdev_open() in synclink_gt.c

The function did not fully unwind actions in the error path. The use of try_module_get()/module_put() is unnecessary, potentially hazardous and is removed. The synclink_gt driver is already pinned any point the net device is registered, a requirement for calling this entry point.

The call hdlc_open() to init the generic HDLC layer is moved to after driver level init/checks and proper rollback of previous actions is added. This is a more sensible ordering as the most common error paths are at the driver level and the driver level rollbacks require less processing than hdlc_open()/hdlc_close().

This has been tested with supported hardware.
