If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Faicker Mo [ Upstream commit 985a663bf00799c1daf1c5789efa6406958780c8 ] This is a sibling fix of commit b84c5632c7b3 ("net: net_failover: Fix the deadlock in slave register"). There is netdev_lock_ops() in the upper callers, so using netif_open() instead of dev_open().
