This looks fine to me, I think we might want to revisit/nuke the code at
the end of dsa_slave_create since it:

- is racy: netif_carrier_off() is called before register_netdev()
- is double racy: we should be bound to a PHY before calling
register_netdev() otherwise there could be MDIO accesses done to that
PHY without an actual PHY being registered
