I think it go this way:

1) bond_master is ready
2) bond_enslave enslave a IPOIB interface calling bond_setup_by_slave
3) then bond_setup_by_slave set change master type to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND.

code is like this:

1 /* enslave device <slave> to bond device <master> */
2 int bond_enslave(struct net_device *bond_dev, struct net_device 
*slave_dev)
3 {
4 <snip>...
5 /* set bonding device ether type by slave - bonding netdevices are
6 * created with ether_setup, so when the slave type is not ARPHRD_ETHER
7 * there is a need to override some of the type dependent attribs/funcs.
8 *
9 * bond ether type mutual exclusion - don't allow slaves of dissimilar
10 * ether type (eg ARPHRD_ETHER and ARPHRD_INFINIBAND) share the same bond
11 */
12 if (!bond_has_slaves(bond)) {
13 if (bond_dev->type != slave_dev->type) {
14 <snip>...
15 if (slave_dev->type != ARPHRD_ETHER)
16 bond_setup_by_slave(bond_dev, slave_dev);
17 else {
18 ether_setup(bond_dev);
19 bond_dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING;
20 }
21
22 call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_POST_TYPE_CHANGE,
23 bond_dev);
24 }
25 <snip>...
26 }
27
28 static void bond_setup_by_slave(struct net_device *bond_dev,
29 struct net_device *slave_dev)
30 {
31 bond_dev->header_ops = slave_dev->header_ops;
32
33 bond_dev->type = slave_dev->type;
34 bond_dev->hard_header_len = slave_dev->hard_header_len;
35 bond_dev->addr_len = slave_dev->addr_len;
36
37 memcpy(bond_dev->broadcast, slave_dev->broadcast,
38 slave_dev->addr_len);
39 }
