I wonder if this is even necessary. Looking at gether_register_netdev() 
it already has ...

  status = register_netdev(net);
  if (status < 0) {
          dev_dbg(&g->dev, "register_netdev failed, %d\n", status);
          return status;
  } else {
          INFO(dev, "HOST MAC %pM\n", dev->host_mac);
          INFO(dev, "MAC %pM\n", dev->dev_mac);
          ...
  }


Any objection to just removing completely from 
gether_setup_name_default()? If we move to
gether_register_netdev() then I believe we also have to deal with 
gether_register_netdev().
