Subject: [PATCH] can: usb_8dev: unregister netdev before free()ing
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:02:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371625369-26368-2-git-send-email-mkl@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371625369-26368-1-git-send-email-mkl@pengutronix.de>

The usb_8dev hardware has problems on some xhci USB hosts. The driver fails to
read the firmware revision in the probe function. This leads to the following
Oops:

    [ 3356.635912] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:5701!

The driver tries to free the netdev, which has already been registered, without
unregistering it.

This patch fixes the problem by unregistering the netdev in the error path.
