net: forbid underlaying devices to change its type
It's not desired for underlaying devices to change type. At the time, there is for example possible to have bond with changed type from Ethernet to Infiniband as a port of a bridge. This patch fixes this. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
