staging: wfx: drop async field from struct hif_cmd
The parameter "async" in wfx_cmd_send() allows to send command without waiting for the reply. In this case, the mutex hif_cmd.lock is released asynchronously in the context of the receiver workqueue. However, "kbuild test robot" complains about this architecture[1] since it is not able to follow the lock duration of hif_cmd.lock (and indeed, the state of the driver if the hardware wouldn't reply is not well defined). Besides, this feature is not really necessary. It is only used by hif_shutdown(). This function hijack the 'async' flag to run a command that won't answer. So, this patch removes the 'async' flag and introduces a 'no_reply' flag. Thus, the mutex hif_cmd.lock is only acquired/released from hif_cmd_send(). Therefore: - hif_shutdown() does not have to touch the private data of the struct hif_cmd - Kbuild test robot should be happy - the resulting code is simpler [1] https://lore.kernel.org/driverdev-devel/alpine.DEB.2.21.1910041317381.2992@hadrien/Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Reported-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@silabs.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200907101521.66082-31-Jerome.Pouiller@silabs.comSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
