[PATCH] net: mdio: octeon: Fix some double free issues

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Thu May 13 2021 - 03:25:07 EST


'bus->mii_bus' has been allocated with 'devm_mdiobus_alloc_size()' in the
probe function. So it must not be freed explicitly or there will be a
double free.

Remove the incorrect 'mdiobus_free' in the error handling path of the
probe function and in remove function.

The 'smi_en.u64 = 0; oct_mdio_writeq()' looks odd to me. Usually the normal
path and the error handling path don't write the same value. Here, both
write 0.
Having '1' somewhere would 'look' more usual. :)
More over I think that 'smi_en.s.en = 1;' in the probe is useless.
I don't know what this code is supposed to do, so I leave it as-is.
But it looks like a left-over from a6d678645210.
