Subject: [PATCH 3.14 49/83] rtlwifi: rtl8723ae: Fix too long disable of IRQs

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

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

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit bfc1010c418a22cbebd8b1bd1e75dad6a527a609 upstream.

In commit f78bccd79ba3cd9d9664981b501d57bdb81ab8a4 entitled "rtlwifi:
rtl8192ce: Fix too long disable of IRQs", Olivier Langlois
<olivier@...llion01.com> fixed a problem caused by an extra long disabling
of interrupts. This patch makes the same fix for rtl8723ae.
