With commit 0071f56e46da ("dsa: Register netdev before phy"), we are now trying to free a network device that has been previously registered, and in case of errors, this will make us hit the BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_UNREGISTERED) condition.
Fix this by adding a missing unregister_netdev() before free_netdev().
