Fixing transmission failure which results in
"authentication with ... timed out". This can be
fixed by disable the REG_TXPAUSE.

I trace when rtl8xxxu set REG_TXPAUSE=0xff that will stop TX.
The occasions include RF calibration, LPS mode (called by power off), and
going to stop. So, I think RF calibration does TX pause but not restore
settings after calibration, and causes TX stuck. As the flow I traced,
this patch looks reasonable. But, I wonder why other people don't meet
this problem.

For my occasion, one of my rtl8192ru device which is Tenda U1 doesn't
work originally with this module, it prints "authentication with ...
timed out" in dmesg. And this change can fix the problem.

Thanks for your review.

Other people have this problem too:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196769
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216746

The RF calibration does restore REG_TXPAUSE at the end. What happens is
when you plug in the device, something (mac80211? wpa_supplicant?) calls
rtl8xxxu_start(), then rtl8xxxu_stop(), then rtl8xxxu_start() again.
rtl8xxxu_stop() sets REG_TXPAUSE to 0xff and nothing sets it back to 0.

Actually, one of the two bug was issued by me. Also, my friend who is
using a TP-Link rtl8192eu device said that his device doesn't work as well.

In the threads, you have answered my question with
"kernel 4.8.0 works, but 4.9.? does not work."

You are correct. That is clear to me. I miss the point that RF calibration
does backup/restore registers containing REG_TXPAUSE.

Then, I think my reviewed-by can be still applied, right?

I see.

But since this patch has not been merged into Linus' tree yet, so should
I wait until this patch is merged or I should issue a v2 patch here and
Cc it to "[email protected]"?
