[PATCH 0/2] wifi: ath11k/ath12k: don't leave a monitor started when its stop fails

[Christopher Griffin via B4 Relay]

If the monitor vdev stop fails in unassign_vif_chanctx(), ath11k and
ath12k return with the vif (link) still marked started, although
mac80211 has released the channel context. The next assignment then
warns and fails with -EBUSY.

A firmware crash during a monitor channel change hits it reliably:
three of three simulated asserts on a QCN9074 with a monitor interface
changing channel every few hundred milliseconds took this path. With
patch 1, none warned and every recovery completed (before: a WARNING
each time). Patch 2 makes the same change in ath12k, compile-tested
only (W=1).
