It is not a chicken and egg problem. It is a bug in caif. caif is claiming to be a network device when it is acting as a subsytem. That means it is being initialized too late.
Ah ok !
Untested but this should trivially fix the problem, and a bunch of others of the same ilk.
Hmm, please refrain from using "trivially" or "trivial", you're not fooling anyone. Truth is this netns layer is horribly complex, since this CAIF bug needed no more than four patch attempts and lastly your own work before finding the root cause. Thanks
