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.
