Please add a Fixes tag and [PATCH net] in the subject.

You need to take the devlink_port_type_eth_set() out of this function
if it's now called before netdev registration and call it after netdev
registration. Otherwise devlink will generate a netlink notification
about the port state change with a half-initialized netdev.
