wifi: iwlwifi: Mark IWLMEI as broken
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The iwlmei driver breaks iwlwifi when returning from suspend. The interface
ends up in the 'down' state after coming back from suspend. And iwd doesn't
touch the interface state, but wpa_supplicant does, so the bug only happens on
iwd.

The bug report[0] has been open for four months now, and no fix seems to be
forthcoming. Since just disabling the iwlmei driver works as a workaround,
let's mark the config option as broken until it can be fixed properly.
