See the implementation of otx2_tc_alloc_ent_bitmap() as following:

int otx2_tc_alloc_ent_bitmap(struct otx2_nic *nic)
{
struct otx2_tc_info *tc = &nic->tc_info;

if (!nic->flow_cfg->max_flows)
return 0;

/* Max flows changed, free the existing bitmap */
kfree(tc->tc_entries_bitmap);

...
}

Hello Leon Romanovsky,

It will kfree(tc->tc_entries_bitmap) firstly, and otx2_tc_alloc_ent_bitmap()
is called by otx2_dl_mcam_count_set() and otx2_init_tc(). I am not sure their
sequence and whether it will cause double free for tc->tc_entries_bitmap. So
setting tc->tc_entries_bitmap to NULL is safe, I think.

Thank you!
