Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] ezchip: Simplify some code

Theses patches (at least 1 and 2) can be seen as an RFC for net MAINTAINERS
get see if they see any interest in:
  - axing useless netif_napi_del() calls, when free_netdev() is called just
    after. (patch 1)
  - simplifying code with axing the error handling path of the probe and the
    remove function in favor of using devm_ functions (patch 2)

  or

if it doesn't not worth it and MAINTAINERS' time can be focused on more
interesting topics than checking what is in fact only code clean-ups.


The rational for patch 1 is based on Jakub's comment [1].
free_netdev() already cleans up NAPIs (see [2]).

Christophe JAILLET (3):
  ezchip: Remove some redundant clean-up functions
  ezchip: Switch to some devm_ function to simplify code
  ezchip: Further clean-up
