Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Fix crash during rmmod when probe firmware fails
Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2016 14:08:44 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478248724-12773-1-git-send-email-mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> (raw)

From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qti.qualcomm.com>

This fixes the below crash when ath10k probe firmware fails,
NAPI polling tries to access a rx ring resource which was never
allocated, fix this by disabling NAPI right away once the probe
firmware fails

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
