This has been done on purpose. I knew that you would appreciate. The problem is probably present with the other cards but since I could not validate or test the patch with them, I have left them unchanged. If you were to determine that it apply to all of them then maybe the patch could be moved to ps.c to wrap hw_init() call. > > The changes are certainly minimal; however, I do need to test them before > giving > my Ack. > > As the problem(s) fixed by this patch will affect stable kernels, you should > add > a "Cc: Stable <sta...@vger.kernel.org>" patch. > > Originally, I was going to have you add a comment to the commit message on > why > you were changing the return value in rtl_ps_enable_nic(), but now I am > thinking > that this should be a separate commit as it fixes a totally different bug. > Yes > it is involved with the callback to hw_init, but the bug is independent. done.
