Julius Bairaktaris 3ec9ced6e1 mac80211: ath11k: stop a firmware crash from rebooting the SoC on AHB
On IPQ8074 a firmware assert reboots the SoC.
ath11k_core_reconfigure_on_crash() frees the data path and clears the
ring list while the DP NAPI is still polling, so the NAPI services a ring
whose address pointer has just been cleared:

  Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address 0
  pc : ath11k_hal_srng_access_begin+0xc/0x60 [ath11k]
  Call trace:
   ath11k_hal_srng_access_begin+0xc/0x60 [ath11k] (P)
   ath11k_dp_rx_process_mon_rings+0xa0/0x5d4 [ath11k]
   ath11k_dp_service_srng+0x1f4/0x348 [ath11k]
   ath11k_ahb_ext_grp_napi_poll+0x34/0xd4 [ath11k_ahb]

951 disables the interrupts on the crash path again. 950 is its
prerequisite: it wires up the CE interrupt ops that
ath11k_ahb_hif_ops_ipq8074 never set, which leaves the CE half of the
quiesce a no-op on AHB. Both are in ath-next as commit a7ab5c835e42
("wifi: ath11k: implement CE interrupt enable/disable for AHB") and
commit f7a74e131d3f ("wifi: ath11k: disable interrupts during firmware
crash recovery"), and are carried here verbatim.

Tested on a Xiaomi AX3600 (IPQ8074 hw2.0) with the debugfs
simulate_fw_crash assert trigger: one assert panics and reboots the SoC
before, five asserts recover after.
