If register_candev fails, xcan_probe does not clean the napi created by netif_napi_add.It seems the netif_napi_del operation is done in the free_candev (free_netdev precisely). list_for_each_entry_safe(p, n, &dev->napi_list, dev_list) netif_napi_del(p); And list_add_rcu(&napi->dev_list, &dev->napi_list) is done in the netif_napi_add. Therefore, I suggest removing "netif_napi_del" operation in the xcan_remove to match probe and remove function.Sounds reasonable, can you create a patch for this.
I have submitted one patch - https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/10/17/181
