[PATCH ath-next 5/9] wifi: ath12k: make assoc link associate first

From: Baochen Qiang
Date: Tue Apr 01 2025 - 22:48:02 EST


In MLO scenario WCN7850 firmware requests the assoc link to associate
before any other links. However currently in
ath12k_mac_op_vif_cfg_changed() we are doing association in an ascending
order of link id. If the assoc link does not get assigned the smallest
id, a non-assoc link gets associated first and firmware crashes.

Change to do association for the assoc link first.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00284-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00209-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
