Do we really need new ndos here? Cannot we learn this via
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER?

I do not think we need to register the netdevice_notifier for every DSA
platform_device we might instantiate, a single one, global, whenever the
DSA driver gets inserted should be enough.

Also, I would prefer if we moved this to net/dsa/slave.c where the other
netdevice_ops are layered, very much like this patch:

You need to test for the callback implementation in the driver, since it
is optional and likely not to be implemented immediately.
