From 5e90de860bc2d82dcb73caef86c05cb49c2b5792 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 16:46:05 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: fix NULL deref upon early FW crash If firmware crashes during FW probing it would try to perform FW recovery which uses mac80211 workqueue before registering to mac80211. Using internal workqueue solves the problem.
