Doing One Err style error handling is often a mistake but it's ok here.

Why is it okay here? I don't understand why this function would be any different than the other places where the code used a goto.

If we *have* to change it I would prefer that we not add a goto and instead add an additional boolean local variable to control serverdown completion. That's less complex and makes the intent clear.

like this:

visornic_serverdown(struct visornic_devdata *devdata,
                    visorbus_state_complete_func complete_func)
{
        unsigned long flags;
        int retval = 0;
        bool complete_serverdown = false;

        spin_lock_irqsave(&devdata->priv_lock, flags);
        if (!devdata->server_down && !devdata->server_change_state) {
                if (devdata->going_away) {
                        dev_dbg(&devdata->dev->device,
                                "%s aborting because device removal pending\n",
                                __func__);
                        retval = -ENODEV;
                } else {
                        devdata->server_change_state = true;
                        devdata->server_down_complete_func = complete_func;
                        complete_serverdown = true;
                }
        } else if (devdata->server_change_state) {
                dev_dbg(&devdata->dev->device, "%s changing state\n",
                        __func__);
                spin_unlock_irqrestore(&devdata->priv_lock, flags);
                retval = -EINVAL;
        }               
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&devdata->priv_lock, flags);
        
        if (complete_serverdown)
                visornic_serverdown_complete(devdata);

        return retval;
}
