Subject: b43: Add panic reason code that doesn't trigger restart
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~969^2~337^2~72
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afa83e239af58a93eddd10a7a43ac5618884db15;p=linux-2.6

b43: Add panic reason code that doesn't trigger restart

Add a firmware panic reason code that doesn't trigger a restart.
This is useful for firmware debugging and avoiding endless
restart loops. We can use FWPANIC_DIE to halt the firmware at a
well defined point.
