Subject: [PATCH] net: hisilicon: remove unexpected free_netdev
Date:   Wed, 28 Nov 2018 15:30:24 +0800
Message-Id: <1543390224-923-1-git-send-email-bianpan2016@163.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The net device ndev is freed via free_netdev when failing to register
the device. The control flow then jumps to the error handling code
block. ndev is used and freed again. Resulting in a use-after-free bug.
