Hello Sara Sharon,

The patch b915c10174fb: "iwlwifi: mvm: add reorder buffer per queue"
from Mar 23, 2016, leads to the following static checker warnings:

	drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c:912 iwl_mvm_rx_mpdu_mq()
	error: potential NULL dereference 'sta'.

	drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c:912 iwl_mvm_rx_mpdu_mq()
	error: we previously assumed 'sta' could be null (see line 796)
