Subject: ath5k: don't mask off interrupt bits
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b6f582bd38783e14f67d4466923f587728b2438;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

ath5k: don't mask off interrupt bits

Since interrupts are already masked by the hardware, there's no need to
discard interrupt bits in the ISR itself.  Also, in ath5k_beacon_config
we mask off a couple of bits without locking, so doing this mask in
software can lead to unhandled beacon timer and beacon miss interrupts.
