Subject: [PATCH -next] net: netcp: drop kfree for memory allocated with devm_kzalloc

From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@...wei.com>

It's not necessary to free memory allocated with devm_kzalloc in the
remove path and using kfree leads to a double free.

Fixes: 84640e27f230 ("net: netcp: Add Keystone NetCP core ethernet
driver")
