At the exact moment you call register_netdev(), your device can be brought up, interrupts processed, PHY state changes made, etc. So you must put this platform_set_drvdata() before the register_netdev() call. Generally speaking, register_netdev() must always be the last state modification done by your probe routine. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
