Revert "macsec: missing dev_put() on error in macsec_newlink()"
This patch is just wrong, sorry. I was trying to fix a static checker warning and misread the code. The reference taken in macsec_newlink() is released in macsec_free_netdev() when the netdevice is destroyed. This reverts commit 5dcd8400884cc4a043a6d4617e042489e5d566a9. Reported-by: Laura Abbott <labbott@redhat.com> Fixes: 5dcd8400884c ("macsec: missing dev_put() on error in macsec_newlink()") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Acked-by: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
