Subject: ath10k: fix peer limit enforcement
From: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@xxxxxxxxx>
commit e04cafbc38c70af2aad3810ce24ab0eba8114779 upstream.
Firmware peer entries are involved in internal
firmware vdev structures. This was not accounted
for and could lead firmware to crash due to asking
it to do more than it could.
Fixes: 039a0051ec1a ("ath10k: allocate fw resources for iface combinations")
