4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Jiri Slaby noticed that the backport of upstream commit 25cc72a33835 ("mlxsw: spectrum: Forbid linking to devices that have uppers") to kernel 4.9.y introduced the same check twice in the same function instead of in two different places. Fix this by relocating one of the checks to its intended place, thus preventing unsupported configurations as described in the original commit.
