4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5447d78623da2eded06d4cd9469d1a71eba43bc4 ] Even if commit 1d27732f411d ("net: dsa: setup and teardown ports") indicated that registering a devlink instance for unused ports is not a problem, and this is true, this can be confusing nonetheless, so let's not do it.
