Subject: [PATCH] cpmac: do not leak struct net_device on phy_connect errors
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:07:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201006211007.49039.florian@openwrt.org> (raw)

If the call to phy_connect fails, we will return directly instead of freeing
the previously allocated struct net_device.
