I recently discovered on my zalon that if the attachment fails because
of a bus misconfiguration (I scrapped my HVD array, so the card is now
unterminated) then the system oopses. The reason is that if
ncr_attach() returns NULL (signalling failure) that NULL is passed by
the goto failed straight into ncr_detach() which oopses.
The fix is just to return -ENODEV in this case.

host = ncr_attach(&zalon7xx_template, unit, &device);

- goto fail;
+ return -ENODEV;
if (request_irq(dev->irq, ncr53c8xx_intr, IRQF_SHARED, "zalon", host)) {
dev_printk(KERN_ERR, &dev->dev, "irq problem with %d, detaching\n ",
