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.
