Subject: [NET]: Call uninit if necessary in register_netdevice
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7ce1b0edcb11f90f6fc5e0ceecff467f329889a0;p=linux-beck.git

[NET]: Call uninit if necessary in register_netdevice

This patch makes register_netdevice call dev->uninit if the regsitration
fails after dev->init has completed successfully.  Very few drivers use
the init/uninit calls but at least one (drivers/net/wan/sealevel.c) may
leak without this change.
