Commit 
38bddf04bcfe661fbdab94888c3b72c32f6873b3 gianfar: gfar_remove needs to call unregister_netdev()
breaks the build of the gianfar driver because "dev" is undefined in
this function. To quickly test rc9 I changed this to priv->ndev but I do
not know if this is the correct one.
Toru-chan, did you even compile test this again current kernels?
I'll commit the following fix and push it to Linus, thanks.
