[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c59f13bbead475096bdfebc7ef59c12e180858de upstream.

The H2C MEDIA_STATUS_RPT command for some reason causes 8192eu and
8723bu devices not being able to reconnect.
