DSA network devices rely on having their DSA management interface up and running otherwise their ndo_open() will return -ENETDOWN. Without doing this it would not be possible to use DSA devices as netconsole when configured on the command line. These devices also do not utilize the upper/lower linking so the check about the netpoll device having upper is not going to be a problem. The solution adopted here is identical to the one done for net/ipv4/ipconfig.c with728c02089a("net: ipv4: handle DSA enabled master network devices"), with the network namespace scope being restricted to that of the process configuring netpoll.

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.
