[U-Boot] [PATCH] fec_mxc: incomplete error handling

fec_init() will only allocate fec->base_ptr if it is non-NULL. But
the cleanup routine on error will free the pointer without setting
it to NULL. This means that a later call to fec_init() would result
in using an invalid pointer.

The following patch to fix this is against u-boot-2009.11-rc2.
