Subject: [Stlinux-devel] [PATCH linux-stm 2/4] net:stmmac: fix broken stmmac_pltfr_remove.

From: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@...com>

This patch fixes stmmac_pltfr_remove function, which is broken because,
it is accessing plat variable via freed memory priv pointer which gets
freed by free_netdev called from stmmac_dvr_remove.

In short this patch caches the plat pointer in local variable before
calling stmmac_dvr_remove to prevent code accessing freed memory.

Without this patch any attempt to remove the stmmac device will fail as
below:
