The usb_8dev hardware has problems on some xhci USB hosts. The driver fails to
read the firmware revision in the probe function. This leads to the following
Oops:
[ 3356.635912] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:5701!
The driver tries to free the netdev, which has already been registered, without
unregistering it.
This patch fixes the problem by unregistering the netdev in the error path.
