This series fixes a NULL pointer dereference bug introduced in the
initial dwmac-nuvoton glue driver. The struct nvt_priv_data::dev field
was never initialized after devm_kzalloc(), leaving it NULL. When
phylink later calls nvt_set_phy_intf_sel() for interface selection,
the callback dereferences priv->dev via nvt_gmac_get_delay(), triggering
a NULL pointer dereference.

priv->dev was never initialized after devm_kzalloc() allocates the
private data structure. When nvt_set_phy_intf_sel() is later invoked
via the phylink interface_select callback, it calls
nvt_gmac_get_delay(priv->dev, ...) which dereferences the NULL pointer.

Fix this by assigning priv->dev = dev immediately after allocation.
