    net/mlx4: Postpone the registration of net_device · 79857cd3
    Moni Shoua authored
    The mlx4 network driver was registered in the context of the 'add'
    function of the core driver (called when HW should be registered).
    This makes the netdev event NETDEV_REGISTER to be sent in a context
    where the answer to get_protocol_dev() callback returns NULL. This may
    be confusing to listeners of netdev events.
    This patch is a preparation to the patch that implements the
    get_netdev() callback in the IB/mlx4 driver.
