Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.10 22/22] wifi: iwlwifi: clear trans->state earlier upon error

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 094513f8a2fbddee51b055d8035f995551f98fce ]

When the firmware crashes, we first told the op_mode and only then,
changed the transport's state. This is a problem if the op_mode's
nic_error() handler needs to send a host command: it'll see that the
transport's state still reflects that the firmware is alive.

Today, this has no consequences since we set the STATUS_FW_ERROR bit and
that will prevent sending host commands. iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording
looks at this bit to know not to send a host command for example.

To fix the hibernation, we needed to reset the firmware without having
an error and checking STATUS_FW_ERROR to see whether the firmware is
alive will no longer hold, so this change is necessary as well.

Change the flow a bit.
Change trans->state before calling the op_mode's nic_error() method and
check trans->state instead of STATUS_FW_ERROR. This will keep the
current behavior of iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording upon firmware
error, and it'll allow us to call iwl_fw_dbg_stop_restart_recording
safely even if STATUS_FW_ERROR is clear, but yet, the firmware is not
alive.

[I missed this was a dependency for the hibernation fix, changed
 the commit message a bit accordingly]
