X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3b0eb4260eb;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git net: Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered. Several device drivers try to do things like netif_carrier_off() before register_netdev() is invoked. This is bogus, but too many drivers do this to fix them all up in one go.
