Ideally this WAR is needed to recover from some rare beacon stuck during stress testing. Before the STA is associated/IBSS had started beaconing, PLL4(0x1618c) always seem to have zero even though we had configured PLL3(0x16188) to query about PLL's locking status. When we keep on polling infinitely PLL4's 8th bit(ie check for PLL locking measurements is done), machine hangs due to softlockup. fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811142 Reported-by: Rolf Offermanns Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org [3.0+] Tested-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Signed-off-by: John W.
