[net PATCH] net: ethernet: stmicro: stmmac: fix possible memory leak in __stmmac_open

[Christian Marangi]

Fix a possible memory leak in __stmmac_open when stmmac_init_phy fails.
It's also needed to free everything allocated by stmmac_setup_dma_desc
and not just the dma_conf struct.

Correctly call free_dma_desc_resources on the new dma_conf passed to
__stmmac_open on error.

Yes, they are. Handling in the caller would require some additional
delta to this and some duplicated code but if preferred I can implement
it. I can provide a v2 shortly if it's ok and you prefer this
implementation.

Hi Christian,

Are these resources allocated by the caller?
If so, perhaps it would be clearer if a symmetric approach
was taken and the caller handled freeing them on error.

Thanks, I think that would be best,
unless the new delta is enormous for some reason.
