Jonas Dreßler e5f4eb8223 mwifiex: Read a PCI register after writing the TX ring write pointer
On the 88W8897 PCIe+USB card the firmware randomly crashes after setting
the TX ring write pointer. The issue is present in the latest firmware
version 15.68.19.p21 of the PCIe+USB card.

Those firmware crashes can be worked around by reading any PCI register
of the card after setting that register, so read the PCI_VENDOR_ID
register here. The reason this works is probably because we keep the bus
from entering an ASPM state for a bit longer, because that's what causes
the cards firmware to crash.

This fixes a bug where during RX/TX traffic and with ASPM L1 substates
enabled (the specific substates where the issue happens appear to be
platform dependent), the firmware crashes and eventually a command
timeout appears in the logs.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
