Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 133/188] ath9k_htc: fix NULL pointer dereference at ath9k_htc_rxep()

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.sakura.ne.jp>

[ Upstream commit b0ec7e55fce65f125bd1d7f02e2dc4de62abee34 ]

syzbot is reporting lockdep warning followed by kernel panic at
ath9k_htc_rxep() [1], for ath9k_htc_rxep() depends on ath9k_rx_init()
being already completed.

Since ath9k_htc_rxep() is set by ath9k_htc_connect_svc(WMI_BEACON_SVC)
 from ath9k_init_htc_services(), it is possible that ath9k_htc_rxep() is
called via timer interrupt before ath9k_rx_init() from ath9k_init_device()
is called.

Since we can't call ath9k_init_device() before ath9k_init_htc_services(),
let's hold ath9k_htc_rxep() no-op until ath9k_rx_init() completes.
