b43: reinit on too many PHY TX errors
Restart the hardware on too many PHY TX errors. A thousand PHY TX errors per 15 seconds means we won't be able to recover for sure. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it> Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
