ath5k: write beacon control register twice when resetting tsf
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
According to the newly-released Atheros HAL code, asserting the
TSF reset bit will toggle a hardware internal state, resulting in a
spurious reset on the next chip reset.  Whenever we force a TSF bit,
write the bit twice to clear the internal signal.
