Wen, can you please add a Fixes: tag since based upon the discussion you actually observed a crash

Jeff, do you mean I should add the crash call stack or other thing in this patch?

The crash is observed by Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>  on 07 Dec 2021 here: Subject: Re: [PATCH] ath11k: enable IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS for WCN6855
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/3267805.el9kkjlfUZ@ripper/




It isn't necessary to add a call stack. Based upon the above you should add both a Fixes: tag and a Link: tag. These go in the tags section of the commit text before the Signed-off-by:

<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#using-reported-by-tested-by-reviewed-by-suggested-by-and-fixes>
A Fixes: tag indicates that the patch fixes an issue in a previous commit. It is used to make it easy to determine where a bug originated, which can help review a bug fix. This tag also assists the stable kernel team in determining which stable kernel versions should receive your fix. This is the preferred method for indicating a bug fixed by the patch. See Describe your changes for more details.


<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-changes>
If related discussions or any other background information behind the change can be found on the web, add 'Link:' tags pointing to it. If the patch is a result of some earlier mailing list discussions or something documented on the web, point to it.
