This error path leads to a Smatch warning: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:4269 ath11k_mac_op_start() error: double unlocked '&ar->conf_mutex' (orig line 4251) We're not holding the lock when we do the "goto err;" so it leads to a double unlock. The fix is to hold the lock for a little longer.
