ugeth is the netdiv_priv() part of the netdevice. Accessing the memory
pointed to by ugeth (such as done by ucc_geth_memclean() and the two
of_node_puts) after free_netdev() is thus use-after-free.

Hm, dunno, I don't think it's needed per se, but it also shouldn't hurt
from what I can tell. It seems more natural that they go together, but
if you prefer a minimal patch that's of course also possible.

I only noticed because I needed to add a free of the ug_info in a later
patch.
