commit: c2731b814e2aaaa40072ee761b7373c052d86e37 From: Luis R. Rodriguez <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 15:13:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Fix power save count imbalance on ath_radio_enable()
Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(), this will throw off the sc->ps_usecount. When the sc->ps_usecount is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery, and will also make the chip fail upon resume with: ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000 This would make the chip useless upon resume. I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to avoid this race completely and not have users complain about a broken device after resume.
