Yes, likely true.
Ideally netdev_<level> is used after register_netdev.
The default "eth%d" is printed after alloc_netdev
but before register_netdev.
Before commmit 256df2f3879efdb2e9808bdb1b54b16fbb11fa38
when netdev_<level>s were converted to functions, they
would also dereference a NULL pointer if used before
register_netdev.
