Subject: iwlwifi: dvm: fix WoWLAN
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <[email protected]>
commit a1cdb1c59c8c203de2731fc6910598ed19c97e41 upstream.
My commit below introduced a mutex in the transport to prevent concurrent operations. To do so, it added a flag (is_down) to make sure the transport is in the right state. This uncoverred an bug that didn't cause any harm until
now: iwldvm calls stop_device and then starts the firmware without calling start_hw in between. While this flow is fine from the device configuration point of view (register, etc...), it is now forbidden by the new is_down flag.
This led to this error to appear:
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Can't start_fw since the HW hasn't been started and the suspend would fail.
This fixes:
