Yingying Tang aabd3be905 wifi: ath12k: Reorder and relocate the release of resources in ath12k_core_deinit()
Ath12k panic notifier is registered in driver loading process. But it is not
unregistered if ATH12K_FLAG_QMI_FAIL is set(e.g. load BDF failed) and unload
driver. It causes a dirty node in panic notifier list since ath12k panic
notifier is not unregistered from list but the buffer of this node is freed
in driver unloading process. If load driver again there will be a page fault
error due to this dirty node in panic notifier list.

This issue is caused by asymmetry between ath12k_core_init() and
ath12k_core_deinit(). Reorder and relocate the release of resources in
ath12k_core_deinit() to avoid this asymmetry issue.

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.
