The IRQs are requested and freed while the PCI device remains bound, for
example when DRIVER_OK is set and later reset. So the driver cannot rely
only on devres cleanup at device detach time; it already pairs
devm_request_irq() with devm_free_irq() in snet_free_irqs() for reset and
for the snet_write_conf() failure path.

That said, I agree that the error path can be made more precise. I will
send a v2 that keeps the config IRQ request failure as a direct return,
and only calls snet_free_irqs() after at least one IRQ was successfully
requested. I will also add the Fixes/Cc stable tags.

Thanks,
Xiong
