Current below problems exists.
1. devlink device is registered by mlx5_load_one(). But it is
not unregistered by mlx5_unload_one(). This is incorrect.
2. Above issue leads to,
When mlx5 PCI device is removed, currently devlink device is
unregistered before devlink ports are unregistered in below ladder
diagram.
remove_one()
mlx5_devlink_unregister()
[..]
devlink_unregister() <- ports are still registered!
mlx5_unload_one()
mlx5_unregister_device()
mlx5_remove_device()
mlx5e_remove()
mlx5e_devlink_port_unregister()
devlink_port_unregister()
3. Condition checking for registering and unregister device are not
symmetric either in these routines.
Hence, fix the sequence by having load and unload routines symmetric
and in right order.
i.e.
(a) register devlink device followed by registering devlink ports
(b) unregister devlink ports followed by devlink device
Do this based on boot and cleanup flags instead of different
conditions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
