From: Sara Sharon sara.sharon@intel.com
[ Upstream commit 0232d2cd7aa8e1b810fe84fb4059a0bd1eabe2ba ]
When getting HW rfkill we get stop_device being called from two paths. One path is the IRQ calling stop device, and updating op mode and stack. As a result, cfg80211 is running rfkill sync work that shuts down all devices (second path). In the second path, we eventually get to iwl_mvm_stop_device which calls iwl_fw_dump_conf_clear->iwl_fw_dbg_stop_recording, that access periphery registers. The device may be stopped at this point from the first path, which will result with a failure to access those registers. Simply checking for the trans status is insufficient, since the race will still exist, only minimized. Instead, move the stop from iwl_fw_dump_conf_clear (which is getting called only from stop path) to the transport stop device function, where the access is always safe. This has the added value, of actually stopping dbgc before stopping device even when the stop is initiated from the transport.
