commit 12dfa2f68ab659636e092db13b5d17cf9aac82af upstream. When connecting to AP, mac80211 asks driver to enter and leave PS quickly, but driver deinit doesn't wait for delayed work complete when entering PS, then driver reinit procedure and delay work are running simultaneously. This will cause unpredictable kernel oops or crash like rtl8723be: error H2C cmd because of Fw download fail!!!

This patch ensures all delayed works done before entering PS to satisfy our expectation, so use cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. An exception is delayed work ips_nic_off_wq because running task may be itself, so add a parameter ips_wq to deinit function to handle this case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
