Marc Zyngier 1f1b194284 net: thunder_bgx: Fix netdev structure allocation 
Commit 94833addfa ("net: thunderx: Unembed netdev structure") had
a go at dynamically allocating the netdev structures for the thunderx_bgx
driver.  This change results in my ThunderX box catching fire (to be fair,
it is what it does best).

The issues with this change are that:

- bgx_lmac_enable() is called *after* bgx_acpi_register_phy() and
  bgx_init_of_phy(), both expecting netdev to be a valid pointer.

- bgx_init_of_phy() populates the MAC addresses for *all* LMACs
  attached to a given BGX instance, and thus needs netdev for each of
  them to have been allocated.

There is a few things to be said about how the driver mixes LMAC and
BGX states which leads to this sorry state, but that's beside the point.

To address this, go back to a situation where all netdev structures
are allocated before the driver starts relying on them, and move the
freeing of these structures to driver removal. Someone brave enough
can always go and restructure the driver if they want.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
