Subject: [PATCH 5.12 194/242] mwifiex: bring down link before deleting interface

From: Brian Norris <briannorris@...omium.org>

commit 1f9482aa8d412b4ba06ce6ab8e333fb8ca29a06e upstream.

We can deadlock when rmmod'ing the driver or going through firmware
reset, because the cfg80211_unregister_wdev() has to bring down the link
for us, ... which then grab the same wiphy lock.

nl80211_del_interface() already handles a very similar case, with a nice
description:

        /*
         * We hold RTNL, so this is safe, without RTNL opencount cannot
         * reach 0, and thus the rdev cannot be deleted.
         *
         * We need to do it for the dev_close(), since that will call
         * the netdev notifiers, and we need to acquire the mutex there
         * but don't know if we get there from here or from some other
         * place (e.g. "ip link set ... down").
         */
        mutex_unlock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
...

Do similarly for mwifiex teardown, by ensuring we bring the link down
first.

Sample deadlock trace:
