Subject: [PATCH 3.16 131/217] mdio-sun4i: oops in error handling in probe

3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 227f33beab746aeec4ef3305bd17b1d374df09e7 upstream.

We could end up dereferencing an error pointer when we call
regulator_disable().

Fixes: 4bdcb1dd9feb ('net: Add MDIO bus driver for the Allwinner EMAC')
