3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Marc Kleine-Budde <[email protected]> commit 4afe2156eb639e563d6ef0c2706b66ea400348b2 upstream. The usb_8dev hardware has problems on some xhci USB hosts. The driver fails to read the firmware revision in the probe function. This leads to the following Oops: [ 3356.635912] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:5701! The driver tries to free the netdev, which has already been registered, without unregistering it. This patch fixes the problem by unregistering the netdev in the error path.
