[PATCH] brcmfmac: unlink URB when request timed out

From: Mathy Vanhoef
Date: Sun Nov 09 2014 - 13:10:38 EST


From: Mathy Vanhoef <vanhoefm@xxxxxxxxx>

Unlink the submitted URB in brcmf_usb_dl_cmd if the request timed out. This
assures the URB is never submitted twice, preventing a driver crash.

Currently brcmfmac may crash when a USB device is attached (tested with a LG
TWFM-B003D). In particular it fails on the second call to brcmf_usb_dl_cmd in
the while loop of brcmf_usb_resetcfg. The problem is that an URB is being
submitted twice:

This patch fixes the brcmf_usb_dl_cmd function to prevent an URB from being
submitted twice. Tested using a LG TWFM-B003D, which now works properly.
