I couldn't move it to mlx5e_open_channel because of how safe_switch_params
and the mechanics around that seem to work (at least as far as I could
tell).
mlx5 seems to create a new set of channels before closing the previous
channel. So, moving this logic to open_channels and close_channels means
you end up with a flow like this:
- Create new channels (NAPI netlink API is used to set NAPIs)
- Old channels are closed (NAPI netlink API sets NULL and overwrites the
previous NAPI netlink calls)
Now, the associations are all NULL.
I think moving the calls to active / deactivate fixes that problem, but
requires that irq is stored, if I am understanding the driver correctly.

Sure, thanks for the review.
