Please use normal goto unwinding so the driver follows the same model
as almost all other pci drivers and allows people to follow your driver
more easily.  Also it's not a alot of cleanup code, so removing this
might actually be a net decrease in lines of code.

Sure.  The patch I have here says 42 insertions, 44 deletions :)

+	if (software_reset(ohci)) {

Please give all your function a nice prefix so that oops messages are
more readable.

I don't see a strong precedence for this for static functions. For example, if you grep for 'static' in drivers/usb/core, there's a mix of usb_* prefixed functions and functions without a consistent prefix. Plus, when the drivers are loaded as modules, the module name will be in the stack trace. I can track down the most generic sounding functions and give them a fw_ prefix, but doing a whole-sale prefixing of static functions will make the source more noisy and reduce readabilty - I'm not sure it's worth it.

cheers,
Kristian
