Because if not, that's the kernel failure style and this is much better
given that if somebody needs to add other commands after initializing the
trackstick, and if those command fail, we can then remove the
trackstick.

My only reason was to shrink the code a little, by removing a label used

Shrink executable code or source code? I do not see either of them
shrinking, you have the same number of code lines and compiler is going
to rearrange the instructions the way it sees fit anyway.

only once. Yes, we may need to add more more and the this label could be
used to avoid duplication, but for now we don't have such code.

But OK, you can drop it if you don't think it's worth applying.

Thanks,

By the way, it looks like you are taking the addresses from
git_maitainer.pl but the output is "interesting" to say the least. You
have

"open list:INPUT (KEYBOARD, MOUSE, JOYSTICK, TOUCHSCREEN),
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)" [off-list ref]

as one of the recipients while.

Thanks.
