[PATCH] b43: Do radio lock assertion in software

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

 



The assertion of the lock-bit in the hardware register is unreliable,
because there are devices with quirks that will randomly set the bit.

Do the assertion in software, only.
