Subject: wl1271: Fix queue stopping/waking for TX path
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06f7bc7db79fabe6b2ec16eff0f59e4acc21eb72;p=linux-beck.git

wl1271: Fix queue stopping/waking for TX path

The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
cause huge latencies in TX transfers and even cause the TX to stall in the
right circumstances. Correct these problems.
