[PATCH 3.16 129/370] net: stmmac: Fix error path after register_netdev move

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx>

commit b2eb09af7370fedc6b9d9f05762f01625438467a upstream.

Commit 5701659004d6 ("net: stmmac: Fix race between stmmac_drv_probe and
stmmac_open") re-ordered how the MDIO bus registration and the network
device are registered, but missed to unwind the MDIO bus registration in
case we fail to register the network device.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - stmmac_dvr_probe() returns a pointer
 - 'pcs' is a member of struct stmmac_priv, not struct mac_device_info]
