Also, the MTD partition will currently be left registered if netdev registration fails. Fix both these problems by moving the MTD probe after netdev registration. Hold the RTNL to serialise this with the netdev notifier that calls efx_mtd_rename(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
