Not sure that this dev_close() serves any real purpose, it stands in the
way a little. It was introduced "to indicate inconsistent situation".

    net: dsa: Add support for learning FDB through notification

    Add support for learning FDB through notification. The driver defers
    the hardware update via ordered work queue. In case of a successful
    FDB add a notification is sent back to bridge.

    In case of hw FDB del failure the static FDB will be deleted from
    the bridge, thus, the interface is moved to down state in order to
    indicate inconsistent situation.

I hope it's ok to only close a net device if it exists, I can't think of
anything smarter.

The reference counting is broken here. It doesn't line up with the
dev_hold(dev) done in the last patch, which is on a non-DSA interface.
Anyway I think a net_device refcount is way too much for what we need
here, which is to ensure that DSA doesn't get unbound. I think I'll just
simplify to get_device(ds->dev) and put_device(ds->dev).
