thank you for the patch!

For some reason with both v4 and v5 I can reliably reproduce the following
warning (ASSERT_RTNL()) at the very beginning of
drivers/net/dsa/local_termination.sh selftest:

RTNL: assertion failed at git/net/core/dev.c (9480)

(testing with GSW145)
I'm not sure though, if it's related to the gsw1xx code, am65-cpsw-nuss driver
on my CPU port or if it's a fresh regression in net-next...

I can see the above splat if I apply the patchset onto bfe62db5422b1a5f25752bd0877a097d436d876d
but not with older patchset on top of e90576829ce47a46838685153494bc12cd1bc333.

I'll try to bisect the underlying net-next...
