CVE-2026-99193: net: ti: icssm-prueth: Move setting of netops to fix crash

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ti: icssm-prueth: Move setting of netops to fix crash
icssmpruethnetdevinit() calls ofphygetandconnect() before ndev->netdevops is assigned. phyattachdirect() -> phylinktopoaddphy() reads dev->netdevops through netdevneedopslock() since the commit in question, so probing crashes with a NULL pointer dereference when CONFIGNETSHAPER is enabled.
Assign netdevops before the PHY attach, as was done for emac in commit 7c9f391ec89c ("net: emac: move setting of netops to fix crash").
