Subject: [PATCH stable] b43: Fix possible MMIO access while device is down
Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2008 02:04:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200807030204.33987.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)
This fixes a possible MMIO access while the device is still down
from a suspend cycle. MMIO accesses with the device powered down
may cause crashes on certain devices.
