Subject: [PATCH 3.16 165/178] net: tc35815: move free after the dereference

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

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

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

commit 11faa7b0359aaf7efd406b7a6a077fda2b037d8e upstream.

We dereference "skb" to get "skb->len" so we should probably do that
step before freeing the skb.

Fixes: eea221ce4880 ("tc35815 driver update (take 2)")
