Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: avoid crash on unsupported debug collection

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

If the opmode doesn't support debug collection (DVM) then don't
crash, but just skip the callback.

Fixes: d01293154c0a ("iwlwifi: dbg: add op_mode callback for collecting debug data.")

Should I take this to wireless-drivers?

Yes, please take this to wireless-drivers. As Johannes said, this
breaks all DVM (older) devices.

Thanks for the patch.

I have seen a call-trace with my first build of Linux v5.11-10201-gc03c21ba6f4e.

After application - all good.

[ dmesg ]
