From dda444d52496aa8ddc501561bca580f1374a96a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Wunderlich Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 16:07:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: disable CSA for all drivers The channel switch announcement code has some major locking problems which can cause a deadlock in worst case. A series of fixes has been proposed, but these are non-trivial and need to be tested first. Therefore disable CSA completely for 3.13.
