Fwd: ath11k: QCN9074: ce desc not available for wmi command

[Bagas Sanjaya]

Hi,

I notice a regression report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:

> Hello, 
> 
> We are trying to connect 2x QCN9074 together (one as AP, the other as client). 
> 
> Using Ubuntu 22.04 hwe 5.19 generic kernel allows to pair both units in 800.11ac 80MHz only. Any other combinations of 802.11ax or ac/ax with 160MHz bandwidth does not work. The client kernel freezes when associating to QCN9074 AP without specific logs and requires reboot. I'll post another bug once I can get more logs.

> Both PCs are Intel x86 (same bug for AMD). We have multiple references of QCN9074 that we tested:
> - Sparklan WPEQ-405AX (our preferred one, as they are the only vendor I know that went through FCC certification) - This unit can associate to APs only with the firmware Sparklan provided. Otherwise, link strength is reported low and barely no APs are listed after scanning.
> - Emwicon WMX7406 - has better performances with Sparklan's vendor FW. Works with ath11k-firmware 2.7.0.1 but shows lower TX mostly.

See Bugzilla for the full thread and attached dmesg.

Manikanta: This regression is apparently caused by a commit of yours.
Would you like to take a look on it?

Anyway, I'm adding it to regzbot:

#regzbot introduced: 13aa2fb692d371 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217536
#regzbot title: Threaded NAPI causes ce desc unavailable error on ath11k

Thanks.
