Thank you for the fix!

I also had the same conflicts on MPTCP side when merging mptcp-next with
-net and I used the same resolution:

Tested-by: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@...sares.net>

I was just a bit confused because I didn't see the modifications in
net/devlink/leftover.c -- devlink_port_netdevice_event() function -- in
the patch you attached but I saw them on linux-next. I guess that's
because you used the latter version of this file.

Just in case it would help the net maintainers, I attached to this email
the modification I had on my side which looks the same as Jiri's
original patch but using the new paths.

Cheers,
Matt
