Wen Gong b5777172cc ath11k: add ieee80211_unregister_hw to avoid kernel crash caused by NULL pointer [ Upstream commit `0d96968315` ] When function return fail to __ath11k_mac_register after success called ieee80211_register_hw, then it set wiphy->dev.parent to NULL by SET_IEEE80211_DEV(ar->hw, NULL) in end of __ath11k_mac_register, then cfg80211_get_drvinfo will be called by below call stack, but the wiphy->dev.parent is NULL, so kernel crash.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
