Subject: [PATCH 4.9 076/310] mlxsw: spectrum: Avoid possible NULL pointer dereference

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...lanox.com>


[ Upstream commit c0e01eac7ada785fdeaea1ae5476ec1cf3b00374 ]

In case we got an FDB notification for a port that doesn't exist we
execute an FDB entry delete to prevent it from re-appearing the next
time we poll for notifications.

If the operation failed we would trigger a NULL pointer dereference as
'mlxsw_sp_port' is NULL.

Fix it by reporting the error using the underlying bus device instead.

Fixes: 12f1501e7511 ("mlxsw: spectrum: remove FDB entry in case we get unknown object notification")
