From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed Jun 17 2015 - 19:32:00 EST


3.19.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@xxxxxxxx>

commit 268be0f7a7d9b3644bcb99568efba13cb208b627 upstream.

Registering the netdev before setting the priv data is unsafe.
So fix this possible race by setting the priv data first.
