bnxt_en: Move devlink_register before registering netdev

Browse source

[ Upstream commit cda2cab077 ]

Latest kernels get the phys_port_name via devlink, if
ndo_get_phys_port_name is not defined. To provide the phys_port_name
correctly, register devlink before registering netdev.

Also call devlink_port_type_eth_set() after registering netdev as
devlink port updates the netdev structure and notifies user.
