Subject[PATCH 39/93] ath9k: disable the tasklet before taking the PCU lock
Date
3.5.7.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>

commit 4668cce527acb3bd048c5e6c99b157a14b214671 upstream.

Fixes a reported CPU soft lockup where the tasklet tries to acquire the
lock and blocks while ath_prepare_reset (holding the lock) waits for it
to complete.
