| |
If we fail to reinit the FW when resetting the device (in the synchronous version of mwifiex_init_hw_fw() -> mwifiex_fw_dpc()), mwifiex_fw_dpc() will tear down the interface and free up the adapter. But we don't actually check for all failure cases of mwifiex_fw_dpc(), so some of them fall through and dereference adapter->fw_done with a freed adapter, causing a use-after-free bug.
In any case, mwifiex_fw_dpc() will always signal FW completion -- in the error OR success case -- so at best, this was repeat work. Let's not do it.
