There is a warning reported by kernel test robot:
smatch warnings:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lib/devcom.c:264
mlx5_devcom_send_event() warn: variable dereferenced before
IS_ERR check devcom (see line 259)
The reason for the warning is that the pointer is used before check, put
the assignment to comp after devcom check to silence the warning.
Fixes: 88d162b47981 ("net/mlx5: Devcom, Infrastructure changes")

The code should end up with reverse x-mas tree order.
The change itself LGTM.
