Subject: iwlwifi: pcie: prepare the device before accessing it
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>
commit f9e5554cd8ca1d1212ec922755b397a20f737923 upstream.
For 8000 series, we need to access the device to know what
firmware to load. Before we do so, we need to prepare the
device otherwise we might not be able to access the
hardware.
