Subject: [05/17] cpmac: do not leak struct net_device on phy_connect errors

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Florian Fainelli <florian@...nwrt.org>

commit ed770f01360b392564650bf1553ce723fa46afec upstream.

If the call to phy_connect fails, we will return directly instead of freeing
the previously allocated struct net_device.
