[PATCH 5.0 048/139] RDMA/ipoib: Allow user space differentiate between valid dev_port

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b79656ed44c6865e17bcd93472ec39488bcc4984 upstream.

Systemd triggers the following warning during IPoIB device load:

 mlx5_core 0000:00:0c.0 ib0: "systemd-udevd" wants to know my dev_id.
        Should it look at dev_port instead?
        See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net for more info.

This is caused due to user space attempt to differentiate old systems
without dev_port and new systems with dev_port. In case dev_port will be
zero, the systemd will try to read dev_id instead.

There is no need to print a warning in such case, because it is valid
situation and it is needed to ensure systemd compatibility with old
kernels.
