This code will lead to memory leaks when device_init_rd1_ring() fails, 
because the memory allocated by device_init_rd0_ring() is not freed.

I think this one will be better:
     ret = device_init_rd0_ring(priv);
     if (ret)
         goto error_init_rd0_ring;
     ret = device_init_rd1_ring(priv);
     if (ret)
         goto error_init_rd1_ring;
     ret = device_init_td0_ring(priv);
     if (ret)
         goto error_init_td0_ring;
     ret = device_init_td1_ring(priv);
     if (ret)
         goto error_init_td1_ring;
     ......
error_init_td1_ring:
     device_free_td0_ring(priv);
error_init_td0_ring:
     device_free_rd1_ring(priv);
error_init_rd1_ring:
     device_free_rd0_ring(priv);
error_init_rd0_ring:
     return ret;
