Linville" Subject: [ 11/82] iwlwifi: do not use shadow registers by default In-Reply-To: <20120607041406.GA13233@kroah.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 2962 Lines: 86 3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Meenakshi Venkataraman commit 66a770729a5cdd24efed8afa5258f81232d8bba2 upstream. Shadow registers in the device are meant to allow the driver to update certain device registers without needing to wake up all components of the device. However, using this feature in the device causes communication between the driver and the device to become unreliable, resulting in host command timeouts. Disable this feature by default till a fix is available for the bug. Signed-off-by: Meenakshi Venkataraman Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
