Subject: [PATCH] be2net: Fix to avoid firmware update when interface is not
open.
Since interrupts are enabled only when open is called on the interface,
Attempting a firmware update operation when interface is down could lead to
partial success or failure of operation. This fix fails the request if
netif_running is false.
