Subject: wl12xx: AP mode - workaround for FW bug on station remove
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39-rc1~468^2~417^2~61^2~28
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=05285cf9b581af05813cfaa60e23227b009b7754;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

wl12xx: AP mode - workaround for FW bug on station remove

Sometimes an event indicating station removal is not sent up by
firmware. We work around this by always indicating success in when
a wait for the event timeouts.

Temporary workaround until a FW fix is introduced.
