This patch landed recently in linux-next as commit e93c9378e33f 
("devlink: change per-devlink netdev notifier to static one"). 
Unfortunately it causes serious regression with kernel compiled from 
multi_v7_defconfig (ARM 32bit) on all my test boards. Here is a example 
of the boot failure observed on QEMU's virt ARM 32bit machine:
