Subject: [PATCH 5.19 0316/1157] ath11k: Fix warning on variable sar dereference before check

From: Baochen Qiang <quic_bqiang@...cinc.com>

[ Upstream commit 77bbbd5e0ed3b5998a353b0948584faa4f565f0e ]

We are seeing below warning:
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'sar'

Fix it by moving ahead pointer check on 'sar'.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3

Fixes: 652f69ed9c1b ("ath11k: Add support for SAR")
