[PATCH v4] wifi: ath11k: Fix NULL pointer check in ath11k_ce_rx_post_pipe()

From: Baichuan Qi
Date: Wed Nov 27 2024 - 06:43:58 EST


Current implementation of `ath11k_ce_rx_post_pipe()` checks for
NON-NULL of either `dest_ring` or `status_ring` using an OR (||).
Both rings, especially `dest_ring`, should be ensured to be
NON-NULL in this function.

If only one of the rings is valid, such as `dest_ring` is NULL
and `status_ring` is NON-NULL, the OR (||) check would not stop
`ath11k_ce_rx_post_pipe()`, the subsequent call to
`ath11k_ce_rx_buf_enqueue_pipe()` will access the NULL pointer,
resulting in a driver crash.

Fix the NON-NULL check by changing the OR (||) to AND (&&),
ensuring that the function only proceeds when both `dest_ring`
and `status_ring` are NON-NULL.
