Subject: [ 18/33] ath9k: do not link receive buffers during flush

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>

commit a3dc48e82bb146ef11cf75676c8410c1df29b0c4 upstream.

On AR9300 the rx FIFO needs to be empty during reset to ensure that no
further DMA activity is generated, otherwise it might lead to memory
corruption issues.
