P Praneesh 246eb353fb wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in WMI firmware stats
Memory allocated for firmware pdev, vdev and beacon statistics
are not released during rmmod. Below kmemleak trace is seen for this
memory leak:

unreferenced object 0xffff8e76aebdfa00 (size 256):
  comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4299272453
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

  backtrace (crc dfe1b440):

Fix this by calling ath12k_fw_stats_reset() before hardware unregister.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
