In efx_init_port() we call efx_mac_reconfigure() to work around a Falcon/A1 limitation, and this calls efx_{arch}_filter_sync_rx_mode(), which takes the addr_list_lock; but this lock is uninitialised, because we haven't called register_netdevice() yet. So, in efx_farch_filter_sync_rx_mode(), check efx_dev_registered() before doing anything else. The EF10 equivalent, efx_ef10_filter_sync_rx_mode(), already has the corresponding check.
