wifi: ath10k: fix NULL pointer dereference in ath10k_wmi_tlv_op_pull_mgmt_tx_compl_ev()
[ Upstream commit ad25ee36f00172f7d53242dc77c69fff7ced0755 ]
We should check whether the WMI_TLV_TAG_STRUCT_MGMT_TX_COMPL_EVENT tlv is
present before accessing it, otherwise a null pointer deference error will
occur.
