Subject: [PATCH net 0/3] ibmvnic: Fixes for device reset handling

This series contains three unrelated fixes to issues seen during
device resets. The first patch fixes an error when the driver requests
to deactivate the link of an uninitialized device, resulting in a 
failure to reset. Next, a patch to fix multicast transmission 
failures seen after a driver reset. The final patch fixes mishandling
of memory allocation failures during device initialization, which
caused a kernel oops.

Thomas Falcon (3):
  ibmvnic: Do not close unopened driver during reset
  ibmvnic: Refresh device multicast list after reset
  ibmvnic: Fix unchecked return codes of memory allocations
