[PATCH 1/3] WDEV: ath5k, fix lock imbalance

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Feb 15 2008 - 15:59:37 EST


Omitted lock causes sparse warning
drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c:1682:1: warning: context imbalance in 'ath5k_tasklet_rx' - different lock contexts for basic block

Add the lock to the guilty fail path.
