[ Upstream commit c1c2d77408022a398a1a7c51cf20488c922629de ] In rare conditions like two stage OS installation, the ethtool's get_channels function may be called when the device is in D3 state, leading to uncorrectable PCI error. Check netif_running() first before making any query to FW which involves writing to BAR. Fixes: db4723b3cd2d ("bnxt_en: Check max_tx_scheduler_inputs value from firmware.")
