Current code assigns 0 to variable 'retval', which makes ezusb_probe() to
return success even if alloc_orinocodev() fails.

The related code snippets in mantis_dma_init() is as following.

1573 static int ezusb_probe(struct usb_interface *interface,
1574                        const struct usb_device_id *id)
1575 {

                 ....

1583         int retval = 0;
1584         int i;
1585
1586         priv = alloc_orinocodev(sizeof(*upriv), &udev->dev,
1587                                 ezusb_hard_reset, NULL);
1588         if (!priv) {
1589                 err("Couldn't allocate orinocodev");
1590                 goto exit;
1591         }
                 ...

1729  exit:
1730         if (fw_entry) {
1731                 firmware.code = NULL;
1732                 firmware.size = 0;
1733                 release_firmware(fw_entry);
1734         }
1735         usb_set_intfdata(interface, upriv);
1736         return retval;
1737 }

 Fix it by checking the return value from alloc_orinocodev() and assigns
'-ENOMEM' to variable 'retval' in the case of error.

The patch looks corrupted. And the from header doesn't contain a proper
name.
