[PATCH net] octeontx2-pf: fix invalid aura pointer free

From: nshettyj

Date: Thu Sep 03 2026 - 10:59:52 EST


From: Geetha sowjanya <gakula@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Do not free empty or uninitialized buffer addresses to the aura.
This avoids freeing bad pointers during receive buffer cleanup.

Fixes: ef6c8da71eaf ("octeontx2-pf: cn10K: Reserve LMTST lines per core")
