This reverts commit 5bf7295fe34a5251b1d241b9736af4697b590670.
Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.
Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.
This commit does not properly detect if an error happens because the
logic after this loop will not detect that there was a failed
allocation.

This reverts commit 26fd962bde0b15e54234fe762d86bc0349df1de4.
Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.
Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.
The change here was incorrect. While it is nice to check if
niu_pci_eeprom_read() succeeded or not when using the data, any error
that might have happened was not propagated upwards properly, causing
the kernel to assume that these reads were successful, which results in
invalid data in the buffer that was to contain the successfully read
data.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a

This commit is not correct, it should not have used unlikely() and is
not propagating the error properly to the calling function, so it should
be reverted at this point in time. Also, if the check failed, the
work queue was still assumed to be allocated, so further accesses would
have continued to fail, meaning this patch does nothing to solve the
root issues at all.

This reverts commit 9aa3aa15f4c2f74f47afd6c5db4b420fadf3f315.
Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.
Upon review, it was determined that this commit is not needed at all so
just revert it. Also, the call to lm80_init_client() was not properly
handled, so if error handling is needed in the lm80_probe() function,
then it should be done properly, not half-baked like the commit being
reverted here did.
