From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 050569fc8384c8056bacefcc246bcb2dfe574936 ] When ndo_get_phys_port_name() for the CPU port was added we introduced an early check for when the DSA master network device in dsa_master_ndo_setup() already implements ndo_get_phys_port_name(). When we perform the teardown operation in dsa_master_ndo_teardown() we would not be checking that cpu_dp->orig_ndo_ops was successfully allocated and non-NULL initialized. With network device drivers such as virtio_net, this leads to a NPD as soon as the DSA switch hanging off of it gets torn down because we are now assigning the virtio_net device's netdev_ops a NULL pointer.
