Ensure that the provided netdev name is not one of its aliases to
prevent unnecessary creation and destruction of the vport by
ovs-vswitchd.

Sorry I applied this before I realised that it's buggy.
dev_get_by_name() will give you a reference on the device.
You must free it, so the error handling is different.
Please follow up ASAP to fix that.

My mistake, I'm wondering that I need to submit a new patch or a v5 
version based on this patch?
