Subject: [PATCH 3.13 043/163] uwb: init beacon cache entry before registering uwb device

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

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

From: Thomas Pugliese <thomas.pugliese@...il.com>

commit 675f0ab2fe5a0f7325208e60b617a5f32b86d72c upstream.

Make sure the uwb_dev->bce entry is set before calling uwb_dev_add in
uwbd_dev_onair so that usermode will only see the device after it is
properly initialized.  This fixes a kernel panic that can occur if
usermode tries to access the IEs sysfs attribute of a UWB device before
the driver has had a chance to set the beacon cache entry.
