This causes some warnings to be displayed for DSA stacked devices:

DSA slave network devices are not associated with their master network
device using the typical lower/upper netdev helpers.

I do not have a good fix to come up with yet, but if you see something
obvious with net/dsa/slave.c, feel free to send patches for testing, I
can boot net-next on this platform.
