Heiner Kallweit 19c9ea363a r8169: fix setting driver_data after register_netdev
pci_set_drvdata() is called only after registering the net_device,
therefore we could run into a NPE if one of the functions using
driver_data is called before it's set.

Fix this by calling pci_set_drvdata() before registering the
net_device.

This fix is a candidate for stable. As far as I can see the
bug has been there in kernel version 3.2 already, therefore
I can't provide a reference which commit is fixed by it.

The fix may need small adjustments per kernel version because
due to other changes the label which is jumped to if
register_netdev() fails has changed over time.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
