Q: My bridge disconnects from my controller on add-port/del-port.

A: Reconfiguring your bridge can change your bridge's datapath-id because
Open vSwitch generates datapath-id from the MAC address of one of its ports.
In that case, Open vSwitch disconnects from controllers because there's
no graceful way to notify controllers about the change of datapath-id.

To avoid the behaviour, you can configure datapath-id manually.

ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 other-config:datapath-id=0123456789abcdef
