    iwlwifi: pcie: remove non-responsive device · 49564a80
    Luca Coelho authored
    If we fail to to grab NIC access because the device is not responding
    (i.e. CSR_GP_CNTRL returns 0xFFFFFFFF), remove the device from the PCI
    bus, to avoid any further damage, and to let the user space rescan.
    
    In order to inform the userspace that a rescan is needed, we send a
    kobject uevent with "INACCESSIBLE".
    
    This functionality is disabled by default, but can be enabled via a
    new module parameter called "remove_when_gone".  In the future we may
    change this module parameter to include 3 modes instead: do nothing;
    auto-rescan or; send uevent.
