ath6kl: Use mutex to protect dma buffer in sync read write
Firmware crashes while starting Soft AP in 32 bit x86 platform. The reason is that the single dma buffer (ar_sdio->dma_buffer) is used in ath6kl_sdio_read_write_sync() for unaligned buffer handling and this function is called in the multiple context at the same time. So, finally hits dma buffer corruption and firmware crash. Mutex is used to protect dma buffer to avoid data corruption. Spin lock can not used to fix this issue since mmc stack read/write calls may for sleep. Observed this issue with recently commited patch "ath6kl: Claim sdio function only at appropriate places" 861dd058 kvalo: change name of mutex to more descriptive and add a comment about what it protects Signed-off-by: NRaja Mani <rmani@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: NKalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
