Subject: staging: octeon: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c4711c3acb9fbe7f559ead7ff511dba3665a048e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

staging: octeon: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()

It is not guaranteed that free_netdev() is macro.
Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks.
I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer.
