[PATCH 3.11 118/233] b43legacy: Fix unload oops if firmware is not available

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Feb 07 2014 - 07:43:17 EST


3.11.10.4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 452028665312672c6ba9e16a19248ee00ead9400 upstream.

The asyncronous firmware load uses a completion struct to hold firmware
processing until the user-space routines are up and running. There is.
however, a problem in that the waiter is nevered canceled during teardown.
As a result, unloading the driver when firmware is not available causes an oops.
