    iwlwifi: pcie: avoid unnecessary work if NIC is disconnected · 2b3fae66
    Matt Chen authored
    When the NIC is disconnected from PCI bus, we are not
    able to access it anymore. Check the status to avoid
    some unnecessary work so can improve the performance.
    It will help to make PCI bus rescan to bring back the
    device much faster.
    
    The real test is able to improve 7 seconds.
    
    [w/o patch] It takes around 9 seconds
