From: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>

The failure case is something like this:

otp fails (probably because BMI timeout was too short)
so core_start fails
so the entire firmware load fails..but since it was not ever
started properly, then it is not stopped as far as PCI is concerned.
So, napi is not released.

A bit later, maybe, the driver succeeds in loading and then we have a
BUG splat.

The BUG in question is this:

/**
 *      napi_enable - enable NAPI scheduling
 *      @n: NAPI context
 *
 * Resume NAPI from being scheduled on this context.
 * Must be paired with napi_disable.
 */
static inline void napi_enable(struct napi_struct *n)
{
        BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &n->state));
        smp_mb__before_atomic();
        clear_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &n->state);
        clear_bit(NAPI_STATE_NPSVC, &n->state);
}
