[PATCH] brcmsmac: fix tx queue flush infinite loop

[Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>]

This patch workaround live deadlock problem caused by infinite loop
in brcms_c_wait_for_tx_completion(). I do not consider the patch as
the proper fix, which should fix the real reason of tx queue flush
failure, but patch helps with system lockup.
