Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: enable features before registering the driver

Hi,

I noticed that mvneta's tx-csum/sg were off until disabled then
enabled, which led me to think that something was not made in the
correct sequence. And indeed, setting the dev features _before_
registering the device works much better :-)

This patch is for master but may be backported to 3.8-stable as well,
which is where I first experienced the issue.

Thanks,
Willy

Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: enable features before registering the driver,
 not after

It seems that the reason why the dev features were ignored was because
they were enabled after registeration.
