+Subject: [PATCH] net: add devm version of alloc_etherdev_mqs function
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+This patch adds devm_alloc_etherdev_mqs function and devm_alloc_etherdev
+macro. These can be used for simpler netdev allocation without having to
+care about calling free_netdev.
+
+Thanks to this change drivers, their error paths and removal paths may
+get simpler by a bit.
