| |
3.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com>
commit dbdedbdf4fbff3d4962a0786f37aa86dfdc48a7e upstream.
Commit 2a19032 (b43: reload phy and bss settings after core restarts) introduced an unconditional call to b43_op_config() at the end of b43_op_start(). When firmware fails to load this can wedge the system. There's no need to reload the configuration after a failed initialization anyway, so only make the call if initialization was successful.
