Title:
  Marvell's W8897 WLAN/BT combo card doesn't work from time to time

Status in HWE Next:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On cold boot, the W8897 sometimes won't work. And even if it works,
  the card would fail after reboot. Even more, sometimes it would
  vanished from PCI bus.

  There's a race between mwifiex_pcie and mwifiex_usb which causes this
  issue. Currently as a workaround we can blacklist mwifiex_usb. Marvell
  is still working on a solution.

  PCI ID:
  02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device [11ab:2b38]

  USB ID:
  Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1286:2045 Marvell Semiconductor, Inc.
