Subject: cw1200: Don't perform SPI transfers in interrupt context
From: Solomon Peachy <pizza@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit aec8e88c947b7017e2b4bbcb68a4bfc4a1f8ad35 upstream.
When we get an interrupt from the hardware, the first thing the driver does
is tell the device to mask off the interrupt line. Unfortunately this
involves a SPI transaction in interrupt context. Some (most?) SPI
controllers perform the transfer asynchronously and try to sleep.
This is bad, and triggers a BUG().
So, work around this by using adding a hwbus hook for the cw1200 driver
core to call. The cw1200_spi driver translates this into
irq_disable()/irq_enable() calls instead, which can safely be called in
interrupt context.
Apparently the platforms I used to develop the cw1200_spi driver used
synchronous spi_sync() implementations, which is why this didn't surface
until now.
Many thanks to Dave Sizeburns for the inital bug report and his services
as a tester.
