Hi!

There is a potential bug in drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.ko. In dwceqos_probe there is a registration of net device (line 2879). After that initialization of common resources is continued (lines 2918, 2924, 2941), but at the moment handlers from net device may be already executed.

Should the registration of net device be at the end of dwceqos_probe?
