Commit 961cf99a074f ("mlxsw: core: Re-order initialization sequence")
changed the initialization sequence so that the switch driver (e.g.,
mlxsw_spectrum) is initialized before registration with the hwmon and
thermal subsystems.
This was done in order to avoid situations where hwmon/thermal code uses
features not supported by current firmware version, which is only
validated as part of switch driver initialization.
Later, commit b79cb787ac70 ("mlxsw: Move fw flashing code into core.c")
moved firmware validation and flashing code from the switch driver to
mlxsw_core so that it is performed before driver initialization.
Therefore, change the initialization sequence back to its original form.
In addition to being more straightforward, it will allow us to simplify
parts of the code in subsequent patches and future patchsets.

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.
