I believe moving the changes to activate / deactivate channels resolves
this problem because only one set of channels will be active, so you
will no longer have dangling association conflicts for the queue ->
napi. This is partially why I suggested the change in that iteration.
As for netif_napi_set_irq, that alone can be in mlx5e_open_channel (that
was the intention of my most recent comment. Not that all the other
associations should be moved as well). I agree that the other
association calls should be part of activate / deactivate channels.
