ath9k: Fix kernel panic during driver initilization
commit 07445f688218a48bde72316aed9de4fdcc173131 upstream. all works need to be initialized before ieee80211_register_hw to prevent mac80211 call backs such as drv_start, drv_config getting started. otherwise we would queue/cancel works before initializing them and it leads to kernel panic. this issue can be recreated with the following script in Chrome laptops with AR928X cards, with background scan running (or) Network manager is running while true do sudo modprobe -v ath9k sleep 3 sudo modprobe -r ath9k sleep 3 done EIP: [<81040a47>] __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 SS:ESP 0068:f6be9d70 ---[ end trace 4f86d6139a9900ef ]--- Registered led device: ath9k-phy0 ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9280 Rev:2 mem=0xf88a0000, irq=16 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception Pid: 456, comm: wpa_supplicant Tainted: G D 3.0.13 #1 Call Trace: [<81379e21>] panic+0x53/0x14a [<81004a30>] oops_end+0x73/0x81 [<81004b53>] die+0x4c/0x55 [<81002710>] do_trap+0x7c/0x83 [<81002855>] ? do_bounds+0x58/0x58 [<810028cc>] do_invalid_op+0x77/0x81 [<81040a47>] ? __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 [<810489ec>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0x81/0x11f [<8103f809>] ? wait_on_work+0xe2/0xf7 [<8137f807>] error_code+0x67/0x6c [<810300d8>] ? wait_consider_task+0x4ba/0x84c [<81040a47>] ? __cancel_work_timer+0xb8/0xe1 [<810380c9>] ? try_to_del_timer_sync+0x5f/0x67 [<81040a91>] cancel_work_sync+0xf/0x11 [<f88d7b7c>] ath_set_channel+0x62/0x25c [ath9k] [<f88d67d1>] ? ath9k_tx_last_beacon+0x26a/0x85c [ath9k] [<f88d8899>] ath_radio_disable+0x3f1/0x68e [ath9k] [<f90d0edb>] ieee80211_hw_config+0x111/0x116 [mac80211] [<f90dd95c>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x919/0xa37 [mac80211] [<f90dda76>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0xa33/0xa37 [mac80211] [<812dbed8>] __dev_open+0x82/0xab Cc: Gary Morain <gmorain@google.com> Cc: Paul Stewart <pstew@google.com> Cc: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@qca.qualcomm.com> Tested-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
