Subject: [PATCH V1 net 4/5] net: ena: fix NULL dereference due to untimely napi initialization

From: Arthur Kiyanovski <akiyano@...zon.com>

napi poll functions should be initialized before running request_irq(),
to handle a rare condition where there is a pending interrupt, causing
the ISR to fire immediately while the poll function wasn't set yet,
causing a NULL dereference.
