staging: rtl8712: handle firmware load failure
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: staging: rtl8712: handle firmware load failure
when firmware fails to load we should not call unregister_netdev()
this patch fixes a race condition between rtl871x_load_fw_cb() and
r871xu_dev_remove() and fixes the bug reported by syzbot
