3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ 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.
