hi, Jiri
        I guess you want gsm_cleanup_mux() called in gsmld_attach_gsm(), just 
after gsm_activate_mux() fails?
Yes, that seems really make sence. :)
Thanks for pointing out it.

Let me explain my opinion. :)
Actually gsmld_attach_gsm results in two different effects when it fails. 
(a)gsmld_attach_gsm -> gsm_activate_mux(gsm_mux[] is full,-EBUSY), then 
gsm_mux[] did not change, and gsm->num is invaild;
(b)gsmld_attach_gsm -> gsm_activate_mux(return -ENOMEM), then gsm_mux[] 
changes, and gsm->num is vaild.

To be honest, I am not very clear about this. I even suspect this is done in 
such way on purpose.
So I just keep the code what it is now. Let's handle the error in gsmld_open(). 
We can make sure that gsm is not used here and it's safe to cleanup and put it.

thanks,

xinhui
