Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/9] tipc: optimize the initialization of network device notifier

From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@...driver.com>

Ethernet media initialization is only done when TIPC is started or
switched to network mode. So the initialization of the network device
notifier structure can be moved out of this function and done
statically instead.
