    iwlwifi: fix RF-Kill interrupt while FW load for gen2 devices · ed3e4c6d
    Emmanuel Grumbach authored
    Newest devices have a new firmware load mechanism. This
    mechanism is called the context info. It means that the
    driver doesn't need to load the sections of the firmware.
    The driver rather prepares a place in DRAM, with pointers
    to the relevant sections of the firmware, and the firmware
    loads itself.
    At the end of the process, the firmware sends the ALIVE
    interrupt. This is different from the previous scheme in
    which the driver expected the FH_TX interrupt after each
    section being transferred over the DMA.
    
    In order to support this new flow, we enabled all the
    interrupts. This broke the assumption that we have in the
    code that the RF-Kill interrupt can't interrupt the firmware
    load flow.
    
    Change the context info flow to enable only the ALIVE
    interrupt, and re-enable all the other interrupts only
    after the firmware is alive. Then, we won't see the RF-Kill
    interrupt until then. Getting the RF-Kill interrupt while
    loading the firmware made us kill the firmware while it is
    loading and we ended up dumping garbage instead of the firmware
    state.
    
    Re-enable the ALIVE | RX interrupts from the ISR when we
    get the ALIVE interrupt to be able to get the RX interrupt
    that comes immediately afterwards for the ALIVE
    notification. This is needed for non MSI-X only.
