[PATCH ath-next 0/2] wifi: ath12k: fix NULL deref when MLO link activation fails

[Wei Zhang]

ath12k_mac_op_change_sta_links() adds a link to ahsta->links_map
before verifying that the link's vdev is ready, allowing broken links
to be processed by subsequent operations and causing NULL dereferences.

Patch 1 fixes three error path inconsistencies in ath12k_mac_vdev_create()
that leave arvif state or vdev resources inconsistent: a direct return on
wmi_vdev_create failure bypasses err: which clears arvif->ar; and both
failure paths in err_peer_del skip the DP peer cleanup and vdev rollback.

Patch 2 uses arvif->is_created (made reliable by patch 1) to guard
against links with no vdev before allocating a link station, preventing
broken links from entering links_map.

  wifi: ath12k: fix NULL deref in change_sta_links for unready link
