Subject: ath9k: Get rid of unnecessary ATOMIC memory alloc during init time
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f0e6ce13c17afd74a49e0ef043d72581562f73ae;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

ath9k: Get rid of unnecessary ATOMIC memory alloc during init time

We can sleep for memory during init time and so allocating rx buffers,
descriptro buffers with GFP_KERNEL should help us to get rid of transient
alloc fails.
