Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: connac: do not check WED status for non-mmio devices

WED is supported just for mmio devices, so do not check it for usb or
sdio devices. This patch fixes the crash reported below:

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
