Commit Message

Right now wcn->hal_buf is allocated in wcn36xx_start(). This is a problem
since we should have setup all of the buffers we required by the time
ieee80211_register_hw() is called.

struct ieee80211_ops callbacks may run prior to mac_start() and therefore
wcn->hal_buf must be initialized.

This is easily remediated by moving the allocation to probe() taking the
opportunity to tidy up freeing memory by using devm_kmalloc().

Fixes: 8e84c2582169 ('wcn36xx: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm WCN3660/WCN3680
hardware')

Fixes tag is wrong, it should be like this and all in one line:

Fixes: 8e84c2582169 ("wcn36xx: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm WCN3660/WCN3680 hardware")

I fixed it in the pending branch, no need to resend.

I don't think you're supposed to have an empty line between your Fixes
and S-o-b. That said, this looks good and your reasoning is sound.
