[PATCH net 3/5] net/ncsi: Disable HWA mode when no channels are found

From: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas
Date: Wed Oct 18 2017 - 22:44:14 EST


From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When there are no NCSI channels probed, HWA (Hardware Arbitration)
mode is enabled. It's not correct because HWA depends on the fact:
NCSI channels exist and all of them support HWA mode. This disables
HWA when no channels are probed.
