In case of any failure ieee802154fake_probe() just calls unregister_netdev().
But it does not look safe to unregister netdevice before it was registered.

The patch implements straightforward resource deallocation in case of
failure in ieee802154fake_probe().

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

Thanks for the patch! But I already delete the whole fakehard driver.
The patch to remove this driver is already in net-next.

There was too many issues with the fake hardMAC drivers and we don't
really supported a "real" hardMAC transceiver. For my rework to grab the
good things from wireless implementation and put 802.15.4 functionality
on it I simple delete the whole driver and _maybe_ add a new one with
the new introduced interfaces for possible hardMAC functionality.

This patch could go into bluetooth(net)/stable but I don't think that
there are many users for this driver.

- Alex

I am not sure that this is worth it then.

Dave, do you want to just take it via net-stable tree? We currently have no urgent bluetooth-stable tree patches pending.

Regards

Marcel

Yeah I can do that, applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
