wifi: ath12k: Prevent incorrect vif chanctx switch when handling multi-radio contexts

Browse source

When multiple links switch channel contexts around the same time, mac80211
may complete CSA for several links together and invoke
ath12k_mac_op_switch_vif_chanctx() with an array of vifs spanning more than
one underlying radio in a single-wiphy configuration.

The driver currently assumes that all entries in the vifs array belong to the
same radio and derives the radio context from the first element. On multi-radio
hardware, this can lead to incorrect vdev selection/updates and may corrupt
driver state when the number of vifs exceeds what a single radio supports.

Fix this by validating each vif's switch request and then processing vifs
grouped by their associated radio. For each vif, ensure the band does not
change across the switch and that both old/new channel contexts resolve to a
valid ath12k device. Reject attempts to move a vif between radios (not
supported for now) and return -EOPNOTSUPP to upper layers.

Then, iterate through the input vifs, collect all unprocessed entries that map
to the same radio, and invoke ath12k_mac_update_vif_chan() separately for each
radio group. This removes any reliance on mac80211 providing the array grouped
by radio or sharing old_ctx pointers across vifs.
