Subject: net: b44: set pause params only when interface is up
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

From: Peter Münster <pm@a16n.net>

commit e3eb7dd47bd4806f00e104eb6da092c435f9fb21 upstream.

b44_free_rings() accesses b44::rx_buffers (and ::tx_buffers)
unconditionally, but b44::rx_buffers is only valid when the
device is up (they get allocated in b44_open(), and deallocated
again in b44_close()), any other time these are just a NULL pointers.

So if you try to change the pause params while the network interface
is disabled/administratively down, everything explodes (which likely
netifd tries to do).
