When a driver returns -EOPNOTSUPP in dsa_port_bridge_join() but failed to provide a reason for it, DSA attempts to set the extack to say that software fallback will kick in. The problem is, when we use brctl and the legacy bridge ioctls, the extack will be NULL, and DSA dereferences it in the process of setting it. Sergei Antonov proves this using the following stack trace: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 PC is at dsa_slave_changeupper+0x5c/0x158 dsa_slave_changeupper from raw_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c raw_notifier_call_chain from __netdev_upper_dev_link+0x198/0x3b4 __netdev_upper_dev_link from netdev_master_upper_dev_link+0x50/0x78 netdev_master_upper_dev_link from br_add_if+0x430/0x7f4 br_add_if from br_ioctl_stub+0x170/0x530 br_ioctl_stub from br_ioctl_call+0x54/0x7c br_ioctl_call from dev_ifsioc+0x4e0/0x6bc dev_ifsioc from dev_ioctl+0x2f8/0x758 dev_ioctl from sock_ioctl+0x5f0/0x674 sock_ioctl from sys_ioctl+0x518/0xe40 sys_ioctl from ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x1c Fix the problem by only overriding the extack if non-NULL.
