Subject: [PATCH] net: cpsw_new: Fix unnecessary netdev unregistration in
 cpsw_probe() error path

The current error handling in cpsw_probe() has two issues:
- cpsw_unregister_ports() may be called before cpsw_register_ports() has
  been executed.

- cpsw_unregister_ports() is already invoked within cpsw_register_ports()
  in case of a register_netdev() failure, but the error path would call
  it again.

Fixes: ed3525eda4c4 ("net: ethernet: ti: introduce cpsw switchdev based driver part 1 - dual-emac")
