Re: [PATCH wireless] wifi: mt76: mt7921: check drv_pmctrl return in the PCIe reset path

Thanks, tag will go on.

Interesting though, neither of your readings matches mine. Mine reads
the right value and takes a scratch write; both of yours refuse it. The
all-ones one is the card not answering at all by that point. The other
still has something on the end of it that just will not hand over. Two
different problems like you said, and your script is reproducing the
wrong one.

On the natural one, I would check whether the card is still on the bus
when it hangs. Anything from PCIe in dmesg, and whether lspci can still
see it.

Would not read too much into Windows, different driver, different reset
path.
