4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 711c62dfa6bdb4326ca6c587f295ea5c4f7269de ] In case the SPI thread is not running, a simple reset of sync state won't fix the transmit timeout. We also need to wake up the kernel thread. Signed-off-by: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@xxxxxxxx> Fixes: ed7d42e24eff ("net: qca_spi: fix transmit queue timeout handling") Signed-off-by: David S.
