As part of switchdev mode disablement, driver changes port netdevice profile from uplink to nic. If this process is triggered by health recovery flow (PCI reset, for ex.) profile attach would fail because all fw commands aborted when internal error flag is set. As a result, nic netdevice profile is not attached and driver fails to rollback to uplink profile, which leave driver in broken state and cause crash later. To handle broken state do netdevice profile initialization only instead of full attachment and release mdev resources on driver suspend as expected. Actual netdevice attachment is done during driver load.

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.
