+Subject: net: stmmac: fix notifier registration
+
+We cannot register the same netdev notifier multiple times when probing
+stmmac devices. Register the notifier only once in module init, and also
+make debugfs creation/deletion safe against simultaneous notifier call.
+
+Fixes: 481a7d154cbb ("stmmac: debugfs entry name is not be changed when udev rename device name.")
