When we fail allocating the DMA buffers in axienet_dma_bd_init(), we report this error, but carry on with initialisation nevertheless. This leads to a kernel panic when the driver later wants to send a packet, as it uses uninitialised data structures. Make the axienet_device_reset() routine return an error value, as it contains the DMA buffer initialisation. Make sure we propagate the error up the chain and eventually fail the driver initialisation, to avoid relying on non-initialised buffers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
