Please always order local variables from longest to shortest line.

Audit your entire submission for this issue, thank you.

You must make all software state settings before reigster_netdev() is
invoked.

At the exact moment you call register_netdev(), your device can be
brought up, interrupts processed, PHY state changes made, etc.

So you must put this platform_set_drvdata() before the
register_netdev() call.

Generally speaking, register_netdev() must always be the last state
modification done by your probe routine.
