Subject: [PATCH v2] can: etas_es58x: free netdev when register_candev() failed in es58x_init_netdev()

In case of register_candev() fails, clear es58x_dev->netdev[channel_idx] and add free_candev(). Otherwise es58x_free_netdevs() will unregister the netdev that has never been registered.

Fixes: 8537257874e9 ("can: etas_es58x: add core support for ETAS ES58X CAN USB interfaces")
