When doing simulate_fw_crash operation periodically with a short interval
time such as 10 seconds, it is easy happened WMI command timed out for
WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID in ath11k_reg_update_chan_list().
log:
[42287.610053] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: wmi command 12291 timeout
[42287.610064] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to send WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST cmd
[42287.610073] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to perform regd update : -11
Note that this issue does not occur with a longer interval such as 20 seconds.
The reason the issue occurs with a shorter interval is the following steps:
1) Upon initial boot, or after device recovery, the initial hw scan plus
the 11d scan will run, and when 6 GHz support is present, these scans
can take up to 12 seconds to complete, so ath11k_reg_update_chan_list()
is still waiting the completion of ar->completed_11d_scan.
2) If a simulate_fw_crash operation is received during this time, those
scans do not complete, and ath11k_core_pre_reconfigure_recovery()
complete the ar->completed_11d_scan, then ath11k_reg_update_chan_list()
wakeup and start to send WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID, but firmware is crashed
at this moment, so wmi timed out occur.
To address this issue, reset the 11d state during device recovery so that
WMI_SCAN_CHAN_LIST_CMDID does not timed out for short interval time such
as 10 seconds.
