The concepts of a channel being 'active' and it having link are slightly muddled in the NCSI driver. Tweak this slightly so that NCSI_CHANNEL_ACTIVE represents a channel that has been configured and enabled, and NCSI_CHANNEL_INACTIVE represents a de-configured channel. This distinction is important because a channel can be 'active' but have its link down; in this case the channel may still need to be configured so that it may receive AEN link-state-change packets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
