Ah, ok, the issue is that CONFIG_NET_DEVLINK is not enabled, the driver
now requires this. This was resolved by adding the dependancy to the
driver itself, and then just punting and always enabling it over time.

We can backport part of f6b19b354d50 ("net: devlink: select NET_DEVLINK
from drivers") if you want, but that feels messy.

For now, if you enable that option, does it build for you?
