Even tho mlx4_core registers the devlink ports, it's mlx4_en and mlx4_ib which set their type. In situations where one of the two is not built yet the machine has ports of given type we see the devlink warning from devlink_port_type_warn() trigger. Having ports of a type not supported by the kernel may seem surprising, but it does occur in practice - when the unsupported port is not plugged in to a switch anyway users are more than happy not to see it (and potentially allocate any resources to it). Set the type in mlx4_core if type-specific driver is not built. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
