b43legacy: avoid PPC fault during resume
For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43legacy_status() returns a value of 2 (B43legacy_STAT_STARTED); however, one finds that the driver is unable to associate after resuming from hibernation unless this routine returns 1. To satisfy both conditions, the routine is rewritten to return TRUE whenever b43legacy_status() returns a value < 2. This patch fixes the second problem listed in the postings for Red Hat Bugzilla #538523. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Cc: Stable <stable@vger.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
