Subject: [stable] bnxt_en: Move devlink_register before registering netdev

David, I'd like to request this patch for 5.4 and 5.5 stable kernels.
Without this patch, the phys_port_name may not be registered in time
for the netdev and some users report seeing inconsistent naming of the
device.  Thanks.
