Subject: [PATCH 2/6] wifi: mt76: mt7925: add NULL pointer protection for MLO state transitions
Add NULL pointer checks for functions that return pointers to link-related
structures throughout the mt7925 driver. During MLO state transitions,
these functions can return NULL when link configuration is not synchronized.
Functions protected:
- mt792x_vif_to_bss_conf(): Returns link BSS configuration
- mt792x_vif_to_link(): Returns driver link state
- mt792x_sta_to_link(): Returns station link state
Key changes:
1. mt7925_set_link_key():
- Check link_conf, mconf, mlink before use
- During MLO roaming, allow key removal to succeed if link is already gone
2. mt7925_mac_link_sta_add():
- Check mlink and mconf before WCID allocation
- Check link_conf before BSS info update
- Add proper WCID cleanup on error paths (err_wcid label)
- Check MCU return values and propagate errors
3. mt7925_mac_link_sta_assoc():
- Check mlink before use
- Check link_conf and mconf before BSS info update
4. mt7925_mac_link_sta_remove():
- Check mlink before use
- Check link_conf and mconf before cleanup operations
Prevents crashes during:
- BSSID roaming transitions
- MLO setup and teardown
- Hardware reset operations
Fixes: c948b5da6bbe ("wifi: mt76: mt7925: add Mediatek Wi-Fi7 driver for mt7925 device")
