My comment on v1 wasn't clear enough, I guess.

What I was trying to get across is that because drivers can take
devl_lock(), devl_register() does not have to be last.

AFAIU your driver does:

  devlink_port_health_reporter_create()
  ...
  devlink_register()

why not change it to do:

  devl_lock()
  devl_register()
  devl_port_health_reporter_create()
  ...
  devl_unlock() # until unlock user space can't access the instance

?
