True, but that doesn't contradict what I said.

Good point.

But I wouldn't make this change, because that would require reworking ->init() in the driver too.
Let's continue assuming that ->init() will do ->online() if successful and so ->offline() is needed after a successful ->init() as well as after a successful ->online().

So I think that a new label is needed here to avoid running ->offline() after a failing ->online().
Let me update the patch accordingly.
