Subject: brcmfmac: free primary net_device when brcmf_bus_start() fails
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fcb3701849957917a234a61b58ad70ed35c83eda;p=linux-beck.git

brcmfmac: free primary net_device when brcmf_bus_start() fails

When initialization within brcmf_bus_start() fails on steps
before the brcmf_net_attach() the net_device for the primary
interface needs to be freed.

This patch resolves a panic during kernel boot as reported
by Stephen Warren.
