Subject: ibm_newemac: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52933f052186877afd218aef7a1b2dbdb010939f;p=linux-beck.git

ibm_newemac: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()

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:

struct net_device* dev;

-kfree(dev)
+free_netdev(dev)
