Subject: [PATCH 36/93] ath9k: fix rx flush handling
3.5.7.5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>
commit 4b883f021b9ccf2df3d14425e6e610281fb6a35e upstream.
Right now the rx flush is not doing anything useful on AR9003+, as it only
works if the buffers in the rx FIFO have not been purged yet, as is done
by ath_stoprecv.
To fix this, always call ath_flushrecv from within ath_stoprecv before
the FIFO is emptied, but still after the hw receive path has been stopped.
This ensures that frames received (and ACKed by the hardware) shortly before
a reset will be seen by the software, which should improve A-MPDU session
stability.
