[lvc-project] [PATCH 5.10] net: cpsw_new: Fix potential unregister of netdev that has not been registered yet

[Elizaveta Tereshkina]

From: Kevin Hao <haokexin at gmail.com>

commit 9d724b34fbe13b71865ad0906a4be97571f19cf5 upstream.

If an error occurs during register_netdev() for the first MAC in
cpsw_register_ports(), even though cpsw->slaves[0].ndev is set to NULL,
cpsw->slaves[1].ndev would remain unchanged. This could later cause
cpsw_unregister_ports() to attempt unregistering the second MAC.
To address this, add a check for ndev->reg_state before calling
unregister_netdev(). With this change, setting cpsw->slaves[i].ndev
to NULL becomes unnecessary and can be removed accordingly.
