If VF NIC is registered earlier, NETDEV_REGISTER event is replayed, but NETDEV_POST_INIT is not.
But Long Li sent the patch which starts to use POST_INIT against the net-next tree. If we apply this to net and Long Li's patch to net-next one release will have half of the fixes.
I think that you should add Long Li's patch to this series. That'd limit the confusion and git preserves authorship of the changes, so neither of you will loose the credit.
Will do.
