Subject: [PATCH 4.16 015/161] net: dsa: Do not register devlink for unused ports

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

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

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 5447d78623da2eded06d4cd9469d1a71eba43bc4 ]

Even if commit 1d27732f411d ("net: dsa: setup and teardown ports") indicated
that registering a devlink instance for unused ports is not a problem, and this
is true, this can be confusing nonetheless, so let's not do it.
