[PATCH] net: xilinx: axienet: Reduce scopes for two resources in axienet_probe()

[Markus Elfring]

The calls “dma_release_channel(tx_chan)” and “of_node_put(np)”
were immediately used after return value checks in this
function implementation.
Thus use such function calls only once instead directly before the checks.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Hi Markus,

This change seems reasonable to me.  However, I am assuming that as a
non-bug-fix, this is targeted at net-next.  And net-next is currently
closed for the v6.12 merge window.  Please consider reposting this patch
once net-next reopens.  That will occur after v6.12-rc1 has been released.
Which I expect to be about a week from now.

Also, for networking patches please tag non-bug fixes for
net-next (and bug fixes for net, being sure to include a Fixes tag).

	Subject: [PATCH net-next] ...

Please see https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainer-netdev.html
