Subject: rocker: handle non-bridge master change
From: Simon Horman <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit a6e95cc718c8916a13f1e1e9d33cacbc5db56c0f ]
Master change notifications may occur other than when joining or
leaving a bridge, for example when being added to or removed from
a bond or Open vSwitch.
Previously in those cases rocker_port_bridge_leave() was called
which results in a null-pointer dereference as rocker_port->bridge_dev
is NULL because there is no bridge device.
This patch makes provision for doing nothing in such cases.
