From 5e8c3d3e41b0bf241e830a1ee0752405adecc050 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Malcolm Priestley Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:30:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: [BUG] iwctl_siwencodeext return if device not open Don't allow entry to iwctl_siwencodeext if device not open. This fixes a race condition where wpa supplicant/network manager enters the function when the device is already closed.
