Subject: brcmsmac: fix tx queue flush infinite loop
From: Stanislaw Gruszka <[email protected]>
commit f96b08a7e6f69c0f0a576554df3df5b1b519c479 upstream.
This patch workaround live deadlock problem caused by infinite loop
in brcms_c_wait_for_tx_completion(). I do not consider the patch as
the proper fix, which should fix the real reason of tx queue flush
failure, but patch helps with system lockup.
