    ath5k: treat RXORN as non-fatal · 87d77c4e
    Bruno Randolf authored
    We get RXORN interrupts when all receive buffers are full. This is not
    necessarily a fatal situation. It can also happen when the bus is busy or the
    CPU is not fast enough to process all frames.
    
    Older chipsets apparently need a reset to come out of this situration, but on
    newer chips we can treat RXORN like RX, as going thru a full reset does more
    harm than good, there.
    
    The exact chip revisions which need a reset are unknown - this guess
    AR5K_SREV_AR5212 ("venice") is copied from the HAL.
    
    Inspired by openwrt 413-rxorn.patch:
    "treat rxorn like rx, reset after rxorn seems to do more harm than good"
