[PATCH RESEND] net: wwan: iosm: fix memory leak in ipc_wwan_dellink

From: zhaoping.shu
Date: Thu Nov 03 2022 - 06:40:19 EST


From: HW He <hw.he@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

IOSM driver registers network device without setting the
needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when
unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak.

This patch sets needs_free_netdev to true when registers
network device, which makes netdev subsystem call free_netdev()
automatically after unregister_netdevice().
