Sara Sharon 0232d2cd7a iwlwifi: fix access to prph when transport is stopped
When getting HW rfkill we get stop_device being called from
two paths.
One path is the IRQ calling stop device, and updating op
mode and stack.
As a result, cfg80211 is running rfkill sync work that shuts
down all devices (second path).
In the second path, we eventually get to iwl_mvm_stop_device
which calls iwl_fw_dump_conf_clear->iwl_fw_dbg_stop_recording,
that access periphery registers.
The device may be stopped at this point from the first path,
which will result with a failure to access those registers.
Simply checking for the trans status is insufficient, since
the race will still exist, only minimized.
Instead, move the stop from iwl_fw_dump_conf_clear (which is
getting called only from stop path) to the transport stop
device function, where the access is always safe.
This has the added value, of actually stopping dbgc before
stopping device even when the stop is initiated from the
transport.

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.
