[PATCH 04/11] staging: rtl8192e: Remove broken function _rtl92e_if_silent_reset()

From: Philipp Hortmann
Date: Sun Oct 01 2023 - 09:44:36 EST


When the function _rtl92e_if_silent_reset() is called the variable
priv->rst_progress is set to RESET_TYPE_SILENT.
Since priv->up is always true the function is left at "if (priv->up) {"
without resetting. Now the function _rtl92e_if_silent_reset() is like
deactivated because the equation at the very beginning is false:
"if (priv->rst_progress == RESET_TYPE_NORESET) {"
This leads to a state where the driver hangs in the reset state and
cannot go forward.
In 30% of the cases the wlan is disconnected and cannot reconnect. The
rest of the time it continues working but no reset is done at all.
Further requests for reset are ignored. Remove broken function
_rtl92e_if_silent_reset() and remove return value of
_rtl92e_if_check_reset() to avoid compiler warnings.
