ath10k: fix null deref on wmi-tlv when trying spectral scan
commit 18ae68fff392e445af3c2d8be9bef8a16e1c72a7 upstream.
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:
