Seems it's to avoid re-introducing the issue that was fixed by:

commit 309b66970ee2abf721ecd0876a48940fa0b99a35
Author: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@...il.com>
Date:   Sun Jun 9 23:26:21 2019 +0900

    net: openvswitch: do not free vport if register_netdevice() is failed.

A Fixes: 309b66970ee2a  is welcomed then.
