Subject: [PATCH 5.4 041/110] mlxsw: minimal: Fix an error handling path in mlxsw_m_port_create()

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

[ Upstream commit 6dd4b4f3936e17fedea1308bc70e9716f68bf232 ]

An 'alloc_etherdev()' called is not ballanced by a corresponding
'free_netdev()' call in one error handling path.

Slighly reorder the error handling code to catch the missed case.
