I went the opposite direction and started cherry picking changes from
6.15.y, starting where ath12k diverged from 6.12.y in Sep 2024. I
found stability pretty quick and was able to bisect down to a single
commit where stability started. See branch
https://github.com/mdmower/linux/commits/mdm-6.12.35-ath12k-1/ for the
cherry pick history on top of v6.12.35. The commit where stability
started is:
wifi: ath12k: modify ath12k_mac_op_bss_info_changed() for MLO
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k?h=linux-6.15.y&id=afbab6e4e88da68cca94cabfc1604d71db161d42
I know this isn't exactly what you needed (especially since the commit
is part of a patch series, not standalone), but maybe it'll help?

I'll continue to test this branch to make sure it's not a false
positive, but so far it's looking good.
