Renaming interfaces using udevd depends on the interface being registered
before its netdev is registered. Otherwise, udevd reads an empty
phys_port_name value, resulting in the interface not being renamed.

Fix this by registering the interface before registering its netdev
by invoking am65_cpsw_nuss_register_devlink() before invoking
register_netdev() for the interface.

Please add a Fixes tag and [PATCH net] in the subject.

You need to take the devlink_port_type_eth_set() out of this function
if it's now called before netdev registration and call it after netdev
registration. Otherwise devlink will generate a netlink notification
about the port state change with a half-initialized netdev.

Thank you for reviewing the patch. I will add the Fixes tag and include net in
the subject of the v2 patch.

I will fix this and post the v2 patch.
