    wifi: iwlwifi: clear trans->state earlier upon error · 094513f8
    Emmanuel Grumbach authored
    When the firmware crashes, we first told the op_mode and only then,
    changed the transport's state. This is a problem if the op_mode's
    nic_error() handler needs to send a host command: it'll see that the
    transport's state still reflects that the firmware is alive.
    
    Today, this has no consequences since we set the STATUS_FW_ERROR bit and
    that will prevent sending host commands. iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording
    looks at this bit to know not to send a host command for example.
    
    To fix the hibernation, we needed to reset the firmware without having
    an error and checking STATUS_FW_ERROR to see whether the firmware is
    alive will no longer hold, so this change is necessary as well.
    
    Change the flow a bit.
    Change trans->state before calling the op_mode's nic_error() method and
    check trans->state instead of STATUS_FW_ERROR. This will keep the
    current behavior of iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording upon firmware
    error, and it'll allow us to call iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording
    safely even if STATUS_FW_ERROR is clear, but yet, the firmware is not
    alive.
