[PATCH] ath9k: Check early for HW reset

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

chan_lock is not required for checking if
we are in the middle of a HW reset, so do it
early. This also removes the small window
where the lock is dropped and reacquired.
