Message-ID <[email protected]>
The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
b43legacy_op_bss_info_changed (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave)
  b43legacy_synchronize_irq
    synchronize_irq --> may sleep

To fix it, the lock is released before b43legacy_synchronize_irq, and the 
lock is acquired again after this function.
