In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix deinitialization of firmware resources
Currently, in ath11k_ahb_fw_resources_init(), iommu domain
mapping is done only for the chipsets having fixed firmware
memory. Also, for such chipsets, mapping is done only if it
does not have TrustZone support.
During deinitialization, only if TrustZone support is not there,
iommu is unmapped back. However, for non fixed firmware memory
chipsets, TrustZone support is not there and this makes the
condition check to true and it tries to unmap the memory which
was not mapped during initialization.
This leads to the following trace -

This can be reproduced by probing an AHB chipset which is not
having a fixed memory region. During reboot (or rmmod) trace
can be seen.
Fix this issue by adding a condition check on firmware fixed memory
hw_param as done in the counter initialization function.
