Subject: [RFC][PATCH] iwlwifi: Add pci .shutdown() hook for iwlwifi driver

Previously no .shutdown() hook is implemented for iwlwifi driver, a
ETIMEDOUT error will occur during the kexec kernel bootup. As a
consequence, wifi is unusable after kexec into the new kernel.

This issue is observed and patch tested on the following wireless cards:

1) Network controller: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH-LP CNVi WiFi,
   Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz
2) Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260,
   Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device e014

Hi folks,

This is a RFC patch and I'm not sure about the correctness of the code,
especially about the pci_clear_master() part. What I want is to stop any
ongoing DMA access, in case if the memory overwritting during kexec
kernel bootup. But there is already pci_clear_master(pci_dev) in
drivers/pci/pci-driver.c:pci_device_shutdown(), so I'm not sure if it is
still needed in the driver side. And I only tested the patch against the
above 2 wireless cards and worked OK, not sure if it can work for others.
Please review the patch, thanks in advance!

Thanks,
Tao Liu
