Hi Claudiu,
I think it's fine in your case, the count is 0, and the tx_swbd is not set,
so it's unnecessary to call enetc_free_tx_frame() in the dma_err path.
But if the count is not zero, then that is the problem, for example, count
is 1, and then goto dma_err path, the it will attempt to free 2 tx_swbd.
