You're completely undoing the commit you linked to:

ibmvnic: Remove netdev notify for failover resets
When handling a driver reset due to a failover of the backing
server on the vios, doing the netdev_notify_peers() can cause
network traffic to stall or halt. Remove the netdev notify call
for failover resets.

But you don't seem to address why this change was unnecessary.
AFAIK you're saying "we only need this event for FAILOVER and MOBILITY"
but the previous commit _excluded_ FAILOVER for some vague reason.
If the previous commit was incorrect you need to explain that in the
commit message.

That should be a separate patch.

Please don't line-wrap fixes tags.
