Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks.
I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
@@
struct net_device* dev;
@@
-kfree(dev)
+free_netdev(dev)

if (dev->emac_irq != NO_IRQ)
irq_dispose_mapping(dev->emac_irq);
err_free:
- kfree(ndev);
+ free_netdev(ndev);
err_gone:
/* if we were on the bootlist, remove us as we won't show up and
* wake up all waiters to notify them in case they were waiting
if (dev->emac_irq != NO_IRQ)
irq_dispose_mapping(dev->emac_irq);
- kfree(dev->ndev);
+ free_netdev(dev->ndev);
return 0;
