SubjectRE: mei: cancel stall timers in mei_reset
Date
Hi

The problem that you found was fixed in patch here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/23/169
And this patch merged into 3.11 according to http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/misc/mei/mei_dev.h?v=3.11
Can you re-check with latest 3.11 point release?


Thanks

Oh, looks like it is mei_hw_start() that first ignores the error. Might
be a problem anyway.
