[PATCH 1/3] net: qca_spi: Avoid packet drop during initial sync

From: Stefan Wahren
Date: Wed Jul 18 2018 - 02:32:45 EST


As long as the synchronization with the QCA7000 isn't finished, we
cannot accept packets from the upper layers. So let the SPI thread
enable the TX queue after sync and avoid unwanted packet drop.
