[ Upstream commit0873016d46] Setting of the port flag `NFP_PORT_CHANGED`, introduced to ensure the correct reading of EEPROM data, causes a fatal kernel NULL pointer dereference in cases where the target netdev type cannot be determined. Add validation of port struct pointer before attempting to set the `NFP_PORT_CHANGED` flag. Return that operation is not supported if the netdev type cannot be determined.

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.
