From: chunfan chen <redacted> mwifiex_check_fw_status() checks firmware status and also check if WLAN is the winner for firmware downloading. Once we detect that other interface is downloading the firmware, we call this routine again with max poll count to wait until firmware is ready. This patch splits the routine to avoid checking winner status multiple times and ensures that correct warning messages are displayed. Firmware status poll count is also increased to 150.The title is somewhat misleading, you are doing a lot more than just fixing messages. Also please clarify the concept here, especially about "winner", "loser" and the other interface.
Thanks for review. I will submit updated version with below changes. 1) Change title to "mwifiex: firmware download enhancements" 2) Modified description to explain "winner", "loser" and the other interface concepts.
