From c928febf4bc703ea542340e5a208e0445d998839 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:27:09 +0000 Subject: starfire: clean up properly if firmware loading fails netdev_open() will return without cleaning up net device or hardware state if firmware loading fails. This results in a BUG() on a second attempt to bring the interface up, reported in , and probably has even worse effects if the driver is removed afterwards. Call netdev_close() to clean up on failure.
