[PATCH] wl12xx: Handle duplicate calling of remove interface

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

 



From: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@xxxxxxxxx>

Because of the hardware recovery mechanism, its possible the
__wl1271_op_remove_interface is called twice. Currently, this leads to a
kernel crash even before a kernel WARNing can be issued.

Fix this.
