How about a label for drop_local_skb?

		switch (skb->data[0] & 0xe0) {
		case LOWPAN_DISPATCH_IPHC:	/* ipv6 datagram */
			local_skb = skb_clone(skb, GFP_ATOMIC);
			if (!local_skb)
				goto drop;

			local_skb = process_data(local_skb, dev, chan);
			if (IS_ERR(local_skb))
				goto drop_local_skb;

			local_skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_IPV6);
			local_skb->pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;

			if (give_skb_to_upper(local_skb, dev)
							!= NET_RX_SUCCESS) {
				kfree_skb(local_skb);
				goto drop;
			}

			dev->stats.rx_bytes += skb->len;
			dev->stats.rx_packets++;

			kfree_skb(skb);
			break;
		default:
			break;
		}
	}

	return NET_RX_SUCCESS;

drop_local_skb:
	kfree_skb(local_skb);
drop:
	dev->stats.rx_dropped++;
	kfree_skb(skb);
	return NET_RX_DROP;
}
