This bug was reported on v2.8.0, so will need backport to branch-2.8.

Prior to commit 85c55772a453f, the following lines were in the alternative case:
            ovsrec_controller_set_is_connected(cfg, false);
            ovsrec_controller_set_role(cfg, NULL);
            ovsrec_controller_set_status(cfg, NULL);

Should we update the records in the else case here like was previously done?
