This initializes the `dev_port' sysfs field of those network interfaces with their port number. Prior to this the kernel erroneously used the `dev_id' sysfs field of those network interfaces to convey the port number to userspace. The use of `dev_id' was considered correct until Linux 3.15, when another field, `dev_port', was defined for this particular purpose and `dev_id' was reserved for distinguishing stacked ifaces (e.g: VLANs) with the same hardware address as their parent device. Similar fixes to net/mlx4_en and many other drivers, which started exporting this information through `dev_id' before 3.15, were accepted into the kernel 4 years ago. See 76a066f2a2a0 (`net/mlx4_en: Expose port number through sysfs').
