Hi Zhipeng Lu,

It looks like the last non-trivial change to this driver was in 2016.
So perhaps it is better to leave it be.

But if not, this patch does look correct to me.

FWIIW, I'm not sure it is necessary to set these pointers NULL,
although it doesn't do any harm.

Also, if this function returns an error,
does the caller (fjes_hw_init()) leak hw->hw_info.trace?
