Subject: ice: Fix inability to set channels when down
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
Git-commit: 765dd7a1827c687b782e6ab3dd6daf4d13a4780f
References: jsc#SLE-7926
Currently the driver prevents a user from doing
modprobe ice
ethtool -L eth0 combined 5
ip link set eth0 up
The ethtool command fails, because the driver is checking to see if the
interface is down before allowing the get_channels to proceed (even for
a set_channels).
Remove this check and allow the user to configure the interface
before bringing it up, which is a much better usability case.
