From 0071f56e46dadb88dc3ad1f8d9cf9c3ae014735d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Lunn Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 20:11:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] dsa: Register netdev before phy When the phy is connected, an info message is printed. If the netdev it is attached to has not been registered yet, the name 'uninitialised' in the output. By registering the netdev first, then connecting they phy, we can avoid this.
