Reported on the Turris forum, mvneta provokes kernel warnings in the
architecture DMA mapping code when mvneta_setup_txqs() fails to
allocate memory. This happens because when mvneta_cleanup_txqs() is
called in the mvneta_stop() path, we leave pointers in the structure
that have been freed.
Then on mvneta_open(), we call mvneta_setup_txqs(), which starts
allocating memory. On memory allocation failure, mvneta_cleanup_txqs()
will walk all the queues freeing any non-NULL pointers - which includes
pointers that were previously freed in mvneta_stop().
Fix this by setting these pointers to NULL to prevent double-freeing
of the same memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
