We must call unregister_netdev when we couldn't initialise the batman-adv module and the soft_device was registered. There are two version of the function which we can use: * unregister_netdevice - removes device * unregister_netdev - takes rtnl semaphore and remove device
We don't hold the semaphore in an error situation. So we must use unregister_netdev.
