All that open does is:

	if ((priv->revision < 0xd00) || (priv->revision > 0xe00))
		netdev_warn(dev, "TSE revision %x\n", priv->revision);

So i agree this does not need a Fixes: tag.

But i do wounder why this is in open. The revision has already been
printed once in probe. Are values < 0xd00 or > 0xe00 significant? Is
this left over code and some actions that were previously here are now
gone?

Maybe a better fix is to remove this, and make revision local in
probe?
