From fc219eed079eb0b11d93ed1adf4fa58f2b465215 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Kondratiev Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 14:45:45 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] wil6210: limit fw error recovery attempts In case there is something fundamentally wrong with the firmware (example: RF cable disconnected), FW will always crash immediately after reset. This leads to infinite fw error recovery loop. Count consecutive unsuccessful error recovery attempts in a short period of time, and stop doing recovery after some reasonable count. It is still possible to manually reset fw doing interface down/up sequence. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev Signed-off-by: John W.
