Brian Norris 2f47150ab3 mwifiex: pcie: disable device DMA before unmapping/freeing buffers
In testing the mwifiex reset code path, I've noticed KASAN complaining
about some "overwritten poison values" in our RX buffer descriptors.
Because KASAN didn't notice this at the time of a CPU write, this seems
to suggest that the device is writing to this memory.

This makes a little sense, because when resetting, we don't necessarily
expect the device to be responsive, so we don't have a chance to disable
everything cleanly.

We can at least take the precaution of disabling DMA for the device
though, and in my testing that seems to clear up this particular issue.

This patch reorders the removal path so that we disable the device
*before* releasing our last PCIe buffers, and it clears/sets the bus
master feature from the PCI device when resetting.

Along the way, remove the insufficient (and confusing) error path in
mwifiex_pcie_up_dev() (it doesn't unwind things well enough, and it
doesn't propagate its errors upward anyway).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
