[PATCH 10/22] wl1271: Remove busy-word checking

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

 



From: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@xxxxxxxxx>

Remove busy-word checking to work around an SPI bug. To reduce the
chance of chipset-busy scenarios, increment the number of fixed busy
words.
