The driver setup is safer if this is done before the access

NAK for 2.622 - this appears to be a highly speculative cleanup-style
change that is not an appropriate submission so late in the Release
Candidate cycle.
I would have expected this sort of change to have been brewing for a
little while in -mm, via netdev#upstream perhaps. As it is, this change
has been zero testing exposure, which is not something we want in a -rc2
or -rc3.
