From: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a7b43649507dae4e55ff0087cad4e4dd1c6d5b99 ] When devlink reload operation is not used, netdev of an Ethernet port may be present in different net namespace than the net namespace of the devlink instance. Ensure that both the devlink instance and devlink port netdev are located in same net namespace.
