Subject: [stable] bnxt_en: Move devlink_register before registering netdev
Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2020 23:42:00 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACKFLi=8uYrOx9GM412hArXzFHZW7WpD3P4F_hT5S0bgf_YTjA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

David, I'd like to request this patch for 5.4 and 5.5 stable kernels.
Without this patch, the phys_port_name may not be registered in time
for the netdev and some users report seeing inconsistent naming of the
device.  Thanks.
