    b43: avoid PPC fault during resume · c2ff581a
    Larry Finger authored
    The routine b43_is_hw_radio_enabled() has long been a problem.
    For PPC architecture with PHY Revision < 3, a read of the register
    B43_MMIO_HWENABLED_LO will cause a CPU fault unless b43_status()
    returns a value of 2 (B43_STAT_STARTED) (BUG 14181). Fixing that
    results in Bug 14538 in which the driver is unable to reassociate
    after resuming from hibernation because b43_status() returns 0.
    
    The correct fix would be to determine why the status is 0; however,
    I have not yet found why that happens. The correct value is found for
    my device, which has PHY revision >= 3.
    
    Returning TRUE when the PHY revision < 3 and b43_status() returns 0 fixes
    the regression for 2.6.32.
    
    This patch fixes the problem in Red Hat Bugzilla #538523.
