Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the patch!

Fixes: 8537257874e9 ("can: etas_es58x: add core support for ETAS ES58X
CAN USB interfaces")

The bug existed from the initial commit.  Prior to the
introduction of es58x_free_netdevs(), unregister_candev() was
called in the error handling of es58x_probe():

A nitpick, but if you don’t mind, I would prefer to set
es58x_dev->netdev[channel_idx] after register_candev() succeeds
so that we do not have to reset it to NULL in the error handling.
