[PATCH v3] net: amd: Fix link leak when verifying config failed

From: Gencen Gan
Date: Fri Apr 21 2023 - 14:34:33 EST


After failing to verify configuration, it returns directly without
releasing link, which may cause memory leak.

Paolo Abeni thinks that the whole code of this driver is quite
"suboptimal" and looks unmainatained since at least ~15y, so he
suggests that we could simply remove the whole driver, please
take it into consideration.
