Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/2] net: liquidio: Fix memory leaks in setup_nic_devices()

Patch 1 fixes an off-by-one error in the cleanup loop. Using a do-while 
loop ensures the current device index is also cleaned up.

Patch 2 moves the initialization of oct->props[i].netdev before queue 
setup calls. This ensures that if queue setup fails, the cleanup function 
can find the allocated netdev.

Signed-off-by: Zilin Guan <zilin@....edu.cn>

Changes in v2:
- Add patch 1 to fix an off-by-one error in the error handling loop logic.

Zilin Guan (2):
  net: liquidio: Fix off-by-one error in setup_nic_devices() cleanup
  net: liquidio: Initialize netdev pointer before queue setup
