[PATCH] fix adm9240 oops

[Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>]

The adm9240 driver, in adm9240_detect(), allocates a structure.  The
error path attempts to kfree() a subfield of that structure, resulting
in an oops (or slab corruption) if the hardware is not present.  This
one seems worth fixing for 2.6.13.
