From dfb5b098e0f40b68aa07f2ec55f4dd762efefbfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lior David Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 16:06:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] wil6210: fix deadlock when using fw_no_recovery option When FW crashes with no_fw_recovery option, driver waits for manual recovery with wil->mutex held, this can easily create deadlocks. Fix the problem by moving the wait outside the lock.
