Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: avoid deleting uninitialized timer during USB cleanup

Driver calls del_timer_sync(hold_timer), in unregister_dev(), but
there exists is a case when the timer is yet to be initialized. A
restructure of init and cleanup is needed to synchronize timer
creation and delee. Make use of init_if() / cleanup_if() handlers
to get this done.

Hi Ganapathi,

This looks kinda wrong, but I'm not totally sure, as I'm not very familiar with
your USB driver.

It's not clear to me what this is about. Are you sure you're not just cleaning
stuff up in the wrong order?

This looks wrong. You don't want to skip your basic initialization just because
firmware isn't loaded yet. In fact, init_if() always gets called before FW
init, so haven't you basically stubbed out this function most of the time?

I guess the question is: is this step supposed to go before, or after firmware
initilization? Based on that answer, we can make an appropriate patch.

(The original code does this after FW initialization, and now you're only sort
of moving it before.)

I think, we are not skipping the basic initialization:
original flow:
PID_1: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "download the firmware"
PID_2: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "do interface initialization" >>> "do firmware initialization"
new flow:
PID_1: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "download the firmware"
PID_2: mwifiex_usb_probe >>> "do interface initialization" >>> "do driver initialization" >>> "do firmware initialization"

It was before firmware initialization, in the existing driver( and the new change also follows this);

I don't think so; as per the above flow, things which we moved to init_if() were previously done in mwifiex_usb_dnld_fw(),
just before it return(for PID_2); FW initialization (mwifiex_init_fw()) happens after that;
