The problem is that gpio_free() can sleep and the cfg_soc() can be called with spinlocks held. One problematic call tree is: --> ath_reset_internal() takes &sc->sc_pcu_lock spin lock --> ath9k_hw_reset() --> ath9k_hw_gpio_request_in() --> ath9k_hw_gpio_request() --> ath9k_hw_gpio_cfg_soc() Remove gpio_free(), use error message instead, so we should make sure there is no GPIO conflict. Also remove ath9k_hw_gpio_free() from ath9k_hw_apply_gpio_override(), as gpio_mask will never be set for SOC chips.
