This would\nlead to a zeroed DMA address being handed out if the agg_idx is\ntranslated to a SW index at a zeroed entry.\n\nFix this by propagating the error out of bnxt_init_nic(). Both callers\nalready check its return value and unwind with bnxt_free_skbs() and\nbnxt_free_mem(), which tolerate a partially initialized RX ring."
