[PATCH] libertas: fix deadlock SIOCGIWSCAN handler
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Update signal quality before the locked scan result translation loop,
because calling libertas_prepare_and_send_command() with the
'waitforrsp' option grabs adapter->lock in the command return processing,
leading to the deadlock.
