Subject: [PATCH net 6/6] net/mlx5: Fix invalid pointer reference when prof_sel parameter is invalid

From: Huy Nguyen <huyn@...lanox.com>

When prof_sel is invalid, mlx5_core_warn is called but the
mlx5_core_dev is not initialized yet. Solution is moving the prof_sel code
after dev->pdev assignment
