Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] nfp: add port from netdev validation for EEPROM access

From: Jaco Coetzee <jaco.coetzee@...igine.com>

Setting of the port flag `NFP_PORT_CHANGED`, introduced
to ensure the correct reading of EEPROM data, causes a
fatal kernel NULL pointer dereference in cases where
the target netdev type cannot be determined.

Add validation of port struct pointer before attempting
to set the `NFP_PORT_CHANGED` flag. Return that operation
is not supported if the netdev type cannot be determined.
