The bridge port sysfs code also uses it and br_sysfs_addif() will create the new symlink in sysfs_root_kn due to NULL kobj passed which basically means only one port will be enslaved, the others will fail in creating their sysfs entries and thus fail to be added as ports. I'd prefer to just fail from the notifier based on the return value. The only catch would be to test it with br_vlan_bridge_event() which is called on bridge master device events, it should be fine as br_vlan_find() deals with NULL vlan groups but at least a comment above it in br.c's notifier would be good so if anyone decides to add any NETDEVICE_UNREGISTER handling would be warned about it. Also please add proper fixes tag, the bug seems to be since: bb900b27a2f4 ("bridge: allow creating bridge devices with netlink") It actually changed the behaviour, before that the return value of br_sysfs_addbr() was checked and the device got unregistered on failure.
