Subject: rocker: free netdevice during netdevice removal
From: Ido Schimmel <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 1ebd47efa4e17391dfac8caa349c6a8d35f996d1 ]
When removing a port's netdevice in 'rocker_remove_ports', we should also free the allocated 'net_device' structure. Do that by calling 'free_netdev' after unregistering it.
