Subject: mei: bus: check if the device is enabled before data transfer

From: Alexander Usyskin <[email protected]>

commit 15c13dfcad883a1e76b714480fb27be96247fd82 upstream.

The bus data transfer interface was missing the check if the device is in enabled state, this may lead to stack corruption during link reset.
