[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c: Replace yield() call with cond_resched

[Thomas Avery]

Remove yield() call, yield() does not guarantee progress, and should not
be used. Cond_resched() is a safer alternative

You sent me 3 patches in 2 days with almost the same subject for the
same driver.  Please resend them as a patch series so I know what order
to apply them in.

Also, always use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to find the proper people and
mailing lists to cc:

thanks,
