It was used to update netdev priv parameters that require stopping and re-opening the device in a generic way - it got the new parameters and did: ndo_stop(), copy new parameters into current parameters, ndo_open(). We chose to remove it for two reasons: 1) It requires additional instance of struct mlx5e_params on the stack and looking forward we expect this struct to grow. 2) Sometimes we want to do additional operations (besides just updating the priv parameters) while the netdev is stopped. For example, updating netdev->mtu @mlx5e_change_mtu() should be done while the netdev is stopped (done in this commit). Signed-off-by:
