Thank you for the bug fix.

This adds a new check to the caller of ofproto_port_add().  That
function is documented to set the ofp_port argument to OFPP_NONE only if
there is an error.  The caller already checks for an error return.
Therefore, it sounds like there is a bug in ofproto_port_add() that can
cause it to set the port to OFPP_NONE even without reporting an error.
Would you mind trying to find and fix the error in ofproto_port_add(),
instead of covering it up in the caller?

Thanks,

Ben.
