Subject: net: ethernet: arc: Fix a potential memory leak if an optional regulator is deferred
From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 00777fac28ba3e126b9e63e789a613e8bd2cab25 ]
If the optional regulator is deferred, we must release some resources.
They will be re-allocated when the probe function will be called again.
Fixes: 6eacf31139bf ("ethernet: arc: Add support for Rockchip SoC layer device tree bindings")
