> If register_netdev() fails, the error handling path of the probe will not
> free the memory allocated by the previous airoha_metadata_dst_alloc() call
> because port->dev->reg_state will not be NETREG_REGISTERED.
>
> So, an explicit airoha_metadata_dst_free() call is needed in this case to
> avoid a memory leak.
