From: Mordechay Goodstein <mordechay.goodstein@xxxxxxxxx>
In some very rare cases the init flow may fail. In many cases, this is
recoverable, so we can retry. Implement a loop to retry two more times
after the first attempt failed.
This can happen in two different situations, namely during probe and
during mac80211 start. For the first case, a simple loop is enough.
For the second case, we need to add a flag to prevent mac80211 from
trying to restart it as well, leaving full control with the driver.
