ath10k: fix null deref on wmi-tlv when trying spectral scan
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
WMI ops wrappers did not properly check for null
function pointers for spectral scan. This caused
null dereference crash with WMI-TLV based firmware
which doesn't implement spectral scan.

The crash could be triggered with:

  ip link set dev wlan0 up
  echo background > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/spectral_scan_ctl

The crash looked like this:
