[PATCH for v5.11 05/12] iwlwifi: pnvm: don't try to load after failures

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

If loading the PNVM file failed on the first try during the
interface up, the file is unlikely to show up later, and we
already don't try to reload it if it changes, so just don't
try loading it again and again.

This also fixes some issues where we may try to load it at
resume time, which may not be possible yet.
