Subject: [PATCH net] net: dsa: Fix network device registration order
Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 15:55:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170925225553.566-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com> (raw)
We cannot be registering the network device first, then setting its
carrier off and finally connecting it to a PHY, doing that leaves a
window during which the carrier is at best inconsistent, and at worse
the device is not usable without a down/up sequence since the network
device is visible to user space with possibly no PHY device attached.
Re-order steps so that they make logical sense. This fixes some devices
where the port was not usable after e.g: an unbind then bind of the
driver.
Fixes: 0071f56e46da ("dsa: Register netdev before phy")
Fixes: 91da11f870f0 ("net: Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support")
