I proposed diffrent fix for this here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20240520073210.GA693073@xxxxx/
but never get feedback if it works on real HW.
So I prefer this one, sice it was tested.

Acked-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <stf_xl@xxxxx>

Martin-Éric and Brandon, could you plase also test patch from 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/Zr2gxERA3RL3EwRe@elsanto/
if it does not break the driver?

Thanks
Stanislaw
