This looks like a fixes, so it should include at least a fixes tag.

More importantly a longer/clearer description of the issue is needed,
including the warning backtrace.

I think this warning:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/netdevice.h#L3542

should not be ignored/silenced: it's telling that the running
configuration is not using a number of the available tx queues, which
is possibly not the thing you want.

Instead the failover device could use an higher number of tx queues and
eventually set real_num_tx_queues equal to the primary_dev when the
latter is enslaved.

Thanks,
