The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
b43legacy_attr_interfmode_store (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave)
b43legacy_radio_set_interference_mitigation
b43legacy_radio_interference_mitigation_disable
b43legacy_calc_nrssi_slope
b43legacy_synth_pu_workaround
might_sleep and msleep --> may sleep
Fixing it may be complex, and a possible way is to remove
spin_lock_irqsave and spin_lock_irqrestore in
b43legacy_attr_interfmode_store, and the code has been protected by
mutex_lock and mutex_unlock.

Jia-Ju,
Did you actually observe the attempt to sleep under the spin lock, or did you
discover this using some tool? In other words, have either of your patches been
tested?
