From: Mordechay Goodstein mordechay.goodstein@intel.com Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2021 15:01:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: mvm: retry init flow if failed
In some very rare cases the init flow may fail. In many cases, this is recoverable, so we can retry. Implement a loop to retry two more times after the first attempt failed.
This can happen in two different situations, namely during probe and during mac80211 start. For the first case, a simple loop is enough. For the second case, we need to add a flag to prevent mac80211 from trying to restart it as well, leaving full control with the driver.
