I don't think this is the right thing to do.

This will cause the caller to not free the IRQ or any of the
other resources.

My understanding of the existing code is to proceed if at least one port
is available.
So I return error code if no ports available at all, otherwise
initialization continues and can succeed.
If something else goes wrong, all resources are deallocated.

Do you suggest to return error code unconditionally?
