This error path leads to a Smatch warning:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:4269 ath11k_mac_op_start()
error: double unlocked '&ar->conf_mutex' (orig line 4251)
We're not holding the lock when we do the "goto err;" so it leads to a
double unlock. The fix is to hold the lock for a little longer.
Fixes: c83c500b55b6 ("ath11k: enable idle power save mode")

But now rcu_assign_pointer() is called while conf_mutex is held,
previously it was not. I didn't check if this creates problems, but just
to be on the safe side I modified your patch to keep the original
functionality. Please check my changes in the pending branch:

I don't think the assignment is a problem, but I'm also fine with the
way you modified the patch. Thanks!
