Subject: [31/55] ath9k_hw: partially revert "fix dma descriptor rx error bit parsing"
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 11:55:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110429185655.570642374@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110429185706.GA12824@kroah.com>
2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>
commit 115dad7a7f42e68840392767323ceb9306dbdb36 upstream.
The rx error bit parsing was changed to consider PHY errors and various
decryption errors separately. While correct according to the documentation,
this is causing spurious decryption error reports in some situations.
Fix this by restoring the original order of the checks in those places,
where the errors are meant to be mutually exclusive.
If a CRC error is reported, then MIC failure and decryption errors
are irrelevant, and a PHY error is unlikely.
