Subject: [PATCH 4.4 339/342] iwlwifi: dvm: fix WoWLAN

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

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

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com>

commit a1cdb1c59c8c203de2731fc6910598ed19c97e41 upstream.

My commit below introduced a mutex in the transport to
prevent concurrent operations. To do so, it added a flag
(is_down) to make sure the transport is in the right state.
This uncoverred an bug that didn't cause any harm until
now: iwldvm calls stop_device and then starts the firmware
without calling start_hw in between. While this flow is
fine from the device configuration point of view (register,
etc...), it is now forbidden by the new is_down flag.
This led to this error to appear:
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Can't start_fw since the HW hasn't been started
and the suspend would fail.

This fixes:
