It is not that simple. These functions expect 'dev' to be an mlxsw
netdev since the operation is propagated using the device chain. This is
not the case with notification chains. 'dev' can be any netdev in the
system and then this line in mlxsw_sp_port_attr_set() is not correct:

struct mlxsw_sp_port *mlxsw_sp_port = netdev_priv(dev);

You can check commit f30f0601eb93 ("switchdev: Add helpers to aid
traversal through lower devices") for reference.

I believe this should only be set in case the driver actually handled
the notification. That's how it works for objects.

I suggest looking at the series merged in commit 06d212900ea9 ("Merge
branch 'switchdev-blocking-notifiers'").
