staging: brcm80211: bugfix for softmac crash on multi cpu configurations
Solved a locking issue that resulted in driver crashes with the 43224 and 43225 chips. The problem has been reported on several fora. Root cause was two fold: hardware was being manipulated by two unsynchronized threads, and a scan operation could interfere with an ongoing dynamic calibration process. Fix was to invoke a lock on wl_ops_config() operation and to set internal flags when a scan operation is started and stopped. Please add this to the staging-linus branch.
