Nisar Sayed fb52c3b597 lan78xx: USB fast connect/disconnect crash fix
USB fast connect/disconnect crash fix

When USB plugged/unplugged at fast rate,
lan78xx_mdio_init() in lan78xx_bind() failing case is not handled.
Whenever  lan78xx_mdio_init() failed, dev->mdiobus will be freed, however
since lan78xx_bind() not consider as error and try to proceed for
further initialization in lan78xx_probe() which leads system hung/crash.
Also when register_netdev() failed, netdev is freed without calling lan78xx_unbind().
Hence halting the failed cases right manner fixes the system crash/hung issue.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
