Cover letter [PATCH net v4 0/5] net: mana: Fix probe/remove error path bugs

Fix five bugs in mana_probe()/mana_remove() error handling that can cause warnings on uninitialized work structs, NULL pointer dereferences, masked errors, and resource leaks when early probe steps fail.

Patches 1-2 move work struct initialization (link_change_work and gf_stats_work) to before any error path that could trigger mana_remove(), preventing WARN_ON in __flush_work() or debug object warnings when sync cancellation runs on uninitialized work structs.

Patch 3 guards mana_remove() against double invocation. If PM resume fails, mana_probe() calls mana_remove() which sets gdma_context and driver_data to NULL. A failed resume does not unbind the driver, so when the device is eventually unbound, mana_remove() is called again and dereferences NULL, causing a kernel panic. An early return on NULL gdma_context or driver_data makes the second call harmless.

Patch 4 prevents add_adev() from overwriting a port probe error, which could leave the driver in a broken state with NULL ports while reporting success.

Patch 5 changes 'goto out' to 'break' in mana_remove()'s port loop so that mana_destroy_eq() is always reached, preventing EQ leaks when a NULL port is encountered.
