Why do you need to store netdev pointer?
Why can't you use existing ib_device_get_netdev/ib_device_set_netdev?

Upstream code has all subsystems in sync, and RDMA driver is always
compatible with its netdev counterpart. Please remove this part.

This is not full review yet, please wait till next week, so we will
review more deeply.
