Staging: wilc1000: Fix kernel Oops on opening the device
Commit2518ac59eb
("staging: wilc1000: Replace kthread with workqueue for host interface") adds an unconditional destroy_workqueue() on the wilc's "hif_workqueue" soon after its creation thereby rendering it unusable. It then further attempts to queue work onto this non-existing hif_worqueue and results in: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000010 pgd = de478000 [00000010] *pgd=3eec0831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] ARM Modules linked in: wilc1000_sdio(C) wilc1000(C) CPU: 0 PID: 825 Comm: ifconfig Tainted: G C 4.8.0-rc8+ #37 Hardware name: Atmel SAMA5 task: df56f800 task.stack: deeb0000 PC is at __queue_work+0x90/0x284 LR is at __queue_work+0x58/0x284 pc : [<c0126bb0>] lr : [<c0126b78>] psr: 600f0093 sp : deeb1aa0 ip : def22d78 fp : deea6000 r10: 00000000 r9 : c0a08150 r8 : c0a2f058 r7 : 00000001 r6 : dee9b600 r5 : def22d74 r4 : 00000000 r3 : 00000000 r2 : def22d74 r1 : 07ffffff r0 : 00000000 Flags: nZCv IRQs off FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none ...

The deinit routine already does a good job of terminating the workqueue when no longer needed. Reported-by: Nicolas Ferre <Nicolas.Ferre@microchip.com> Fixes:2518ac59eb
