Subject: ath5k: Always free tx buffers before reset
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=19252ecb672d3f35959c576d1d26b9aca350f5bf;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ath5k: Always free tx buffers before reset

 * Always free tx buffers before reset, since we also empty hw queues.
 If we don't and a queue gets stuck, we'll never decrease txq_len and sw
 will keep thinking the queue is still stuck even after reset.
