[U-Boot] [u-boot] [PATCH] [2/2] mxc_fec: put freed pointers to NULL to avoid problems with further free() calls.

Dear javier Martin,

Is this actually the case anywhere in the code? If so, that code
should be fixed, as thisis obviously a bug then.

I dislike workarounds like these as they just hush up design and/or
implementation issues int he code. lease rather fix the real problems
instead.

Thanks.

ELDK 2.0? Wow. I did not think this was still in use anywhere around.

Best regards,
