Subject: [PATCH 3.10 19/97] rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs
3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Olivier Langlois <olivier@...llion01.com>
commit f78bccd79ba3cd9d9664981b501d57bdb81ab8a4 upstream.
rtl8192ce is disabling for too long the local interrupts during hw initiatialisation when performing scans
The observable symptoms in dmesg can be:
- underruns from ALSA playback
- clock freezes (tstamps do not change for several dmesg entries until irqs are finaly reenabled):

[ 251.154656] PCM: Lost interrupts? [Q]-0 (stream=0, delta=15903, new_hw_ptr=293408, old_hw_ptr=277505)
The exact code flow that causes that is:
1. wpa_supplicant send a start_scan request to the nl80211 driver
2. mac80211 module call rtl_op_config with IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
3. rtl_ips_nic_on is called which disable local irqs
4. rtl92c_phy_set_rf_power_state() is called
5. rtl_ps_enable_nic() is called and hw_init()is executed and then the interrupts on the device are enabled
A good solution could be to refactor the code to avoid calling rtl92ce_hw_init() with the irqs disabled
but a quick and dirty solution that has proven to work is
to reenable the irqs during the function rtl92ce_hw_init().
I think that it is safe doing so since the device interrupt will only be enabled after the init function succeed.
