Hauke Mehrtens 1cfd3426ef ath10k: Fix NULL pointer dereference in AHB device probe
This fixes a NULL pointer dereference in the probe path for AHB devices.
There attr parameter in the ath10k_ce_alloc_pipe() function is not
initialized, but accessed. This function is called by
ath10k_pci_setup_resource() which is called by ath10k_ahb_probe().

The struct ath10k_pci is also used for AHB devices and not only for PCI
devices.

The initialization of the new members of struct ath10k_pci is moved to
ath10k_pci_setup_resource() which is used by the PCI and the AHB code.

This also fixes a use after free bug in ath10k_pci_remove() when ar_pci
is accessed after ath10k_core_destroy() was called, which calls
ieee80211_free_hw() and frees this memory.

This fixes the following bug seen with backports-5.8-rc2 on OpenWrt on a
IPQ4019 device:

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.
