cpsw_ndo_stop calls napi_disable: you can remove netif_running.
This netif_running check is to find which interface is up as the
interrupt is shared by both the interfaces. When first interface is down
and second interface is active then napi_schedule for first interface
will fail and second interface napi needs to be scheduled.

So I don't think netif_running needs to be removed.
Each interface has its own napi tx (resp. rx) context: I would had expected
two unconditional napi_schedule per tx (resp. rx) shared irq, not one.

I'll read it again after some sleep.
