net: mscc: ocelot: be able to reuse a devlink_port after teardown

Browse source

There are cases where we would like to continue probing the switch even
if one port has failed to probe. When that happens, we need to
unregister a devlink_port of type DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_PHYSICAL and
re-register it of type DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_UNUSED.

This is fine, except when calling devlink_port_attrs_set on a structure
on which devlink_port_register has been previously called, there is a
WARN_ON in devlink_port_attrs_set that devlink_port->devlink must be
NULL.

So don't assume that the memory behind dlp is clean when calling
ocelot_port_devlink_init, just zero-initialize it.
