[PATCH] Revert "net: linkwatch: add check for netdevice being present to linkwatch_do_dev"

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Tue Sep 01 2020 - 11:02:48 EST


This reverts commit 124eee3f6955f7aa19b9e6ff5c9b6d37cb3d1e2c.

Inami-san reported that this commit breaks bridge support in a Xen
environment, and that reverting it fixes this.

During system resume, bridge ports are no longer enabled, as that relies
on the receipt of the NETDEV_CHANGE notification. This notification is
not sent, as netdev_state_change() is no longer called.

Note that the condition this commit intended to fix never existed
upstream, as the patch triggering it and referenced in the commit was
never applied upstream. Hence I can confirm s2ram on r8a73a4/ape6evm
and sh73a0/kzm9g works fine before/after this revert.
