To simplify and prevent memory leakage when unbinding, use
the devm_ memory allocation calls.

    Shouldn't you remove the correspoding kfree(), etc. calls?

MBR, Sergei

The corresponding kfree() calls were all missing.

    Then this patch should be for net, not net-next. Either that, or add the 
kfree() calls first, then remove them in this net-next patch.
