Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/3] net: move the netdev_ops checks into a helper
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 11:42:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002094211.2350702-2-nb@tipi-net.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002094211.2350702-1-nb@tipi-net.de>
register_netdevice() already does two ops sanity checks and is about to
get a third. Collect them in netdev_check_ops().
The call stays after ndo_init() because drivers set features from there.
