The e100 driver sets many of the fields in the netdevice structure after
calling the register function. This confuses the sysfs setup, because
it uses the presence of the get_stats function pointer to decide whether
to setup a statistics directory or not. The earlier patch to net-sysfs
keeps this from causing a crash.
This patch moves the initialization earlier before registration. It probably
closes other races as well, where some program could access the e100 driver
before the pointers were setup.
