Hi Gregory,
A quick remark below. All changes look fine to me at a first look, but
I will test and dig more into code soon.

The purpose of shifting register_netdev() was to be able to obtain
pp->id from net_device, before mvneta_bm_port_init is called. It is
needed for proper port - pool mapping control.
