Since it seems like you're going to be resending this patch, could you
do this free_netdev() before gotos?  That way if someone adds more code
after the loop then we can still use the goto ladder to unwind.  (No one
is going to add more code after the loop, I know...  I wouldn't have
commented except that it seemed like you were going to resend.)

		if (bdx_read_mac(priv)) {
			free_netdev(ndev);
			pr_err("load MAC address failed\n");
			err = -EFAULT;
			goto err_out_free;
		}
