[PATCH v2] wifi: mt76: mt7921: Add PCIe AER handler support to prevent system crash

[Johannes Berg]

Hi,

So ... yeah it's your driver, and yes it's already at v2, but ... this
still seems very much papering over a problem?

Why does it even crash there?

And how does sprinkling this "magic dust" all over even do anything?


This sounds a bit like the driver isn't able to deal with surprise
removal, what happens if you e.g. rmmod it while running traffic? I
believe the effect of the error recovery would be similar, if you don't
handle it, so are you sure there's not a completely different underlying
bug?
