Subject: [PATCH bluetooth-next 2/3] at86rf230: remove unnecessary spinlock
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:46:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427370390-31302-2-git-send-email-alex.aring@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427370390-31302-1-git-send-email-alex.aring@gmail.com>

This spinlock isn't necessary because if we are in TX_ON/TX_ARET_ON
state the transceiver can't be interrupted e.g. by receiving a frame
when a SHR was detected. In this time the transceiver doesn't leave
the TX_ON/TX_ARET_ON state until the tx complete irq change the state
into RX_AACK_ON again. This means a receiving interrupt in state
TX_ON/TX_ARET_ON can't happen and is_tx is protected by transceiver.
