Subject: ath5k: Reset Tx interrupt bits also on PISR
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cb161cda634ae5fdb4de797096ba9028171507d2;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ath5k: Reset Tx interrupt bits also on PISR

Some cards don't update the PISR properly when all SISR bits
for Tx interrupts are being cleared and as a result we get
interrupt storm. Since we handle all tx queues all together
(so we don't really use the SISR bits to do per-queue interrupt
handling), we can manualy update PISR by doing a write-to-clear
on its Tx interrupt bits.
