From: Matt Johnston <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b389a902dd5be4ece505a2e0463b9b034de04bf5 ] The unregister check could be incorrectly triggered if a netdev changes its type after register. That is possible for a tun device using TUNSETLINK ioctl, resulting in mctp unregister failing and the netdev unregister waiting forever. This was encountered by https://github.com/openthread/openthread/issues/8523 Neither check at register or unregister is required. They were added in an attempt to track down mctp_ptr being set unexpectedly, which should not happen in normal operation.
