commit 25cc72a33835ed8a6f53180a822cadab855852ac upstream.
Jiri Slaby noticed that the backport of upstream commit 25cc72a33835 ("mlxsw: spectrum: Forbid linking to devices that have uppers") to kernel 4.9.y introduced the same check twice in the same function instead of in two different places.
Fix this by relocating one of the checks to its intended place, thus preventing unsupported configurations as described in the original commit.

Greg, I read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt, so I hope the patch is fine. Please let me know if v2 is required. Thanks
This commit is already in 4.9.51, why do you need/want it applied again?
It wasn't clear to me if I need to specify "commit <sha1> upstream" also for fixes of backports. You want me to post v2 without this line?
I have no idea what you are trying to say here, sorry. This commit is already in the 4.9.51 kernel release, and yet you are asking for me to include it again in the 4.9.y tree? Why?
I'm not.
If not, what exactly are you wanting me to do here?
1. Upstream commit 25cc72a33835 was backported to 4.9.y in 73ee5a73e75f 2. The backport includes a bug spotted by Jiri Slaby 3. The patch I submitted tries to fix this bug in 4.9.y
