iwlwifi: module parameter to enable/disable bt co-exist
Adding "bt_coex_active" module parameter for iwlcore to enable/disable BT coexist; if bt_coex_active is true (default), uCode will do kill/defer every time the priority line is asserted (BT is sending signals on the priority line in the PCIx). By disable the bt_coex_active, uCode will ignore the BT activity and perform the normal operation. Users might experience transmit issue on some platform due to this WiFi/BT co-exist problem. The possible symptoms are: NetworkManager and other similar programs can scan and find all the available APs, but will timeout and unable to associate with any of the APs; no out-going frames can be found with wireless sniffer tools. On those platforms, WiFi communication can be restored by set "bt_coex_active" module parameter to "false" Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
