[PATCH net-next v2 6/6] net/ncsi: Configure multi-package, multi-channel modes with failover

[Justin.Lee1 at Dell.com]

Hi Samuel,

There is one place that we assume the next available TX channel is under the same package.
Please see the comment below.

Thanks,
Justin

If the channel may be on different package, the package ID here may not be correct
in some cases.

When we search, we need to consider the other available channel might be on the
package.

I remove the cable from ncsi0 and it doesn't failover to ncsi3 as ncsi0 and ncsi3 are not under
the same package.
