Subject: i40iw: Receive netdev events post INET_NOTIFIER state
From: Shiraz Saleem <shiraz.saleem@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 871a8623d3b40221ad1103aff715dfee0aa4dacf ]
Netdev notification events are de-registered only when all
client iwdev instances are removed. If a single client is closed
and re-opened, netdev events could arrive even before the Control
Queue-Pair (CQP) is created, causing a NULL pointer dereference crash
in i40iw_get_cqp_request. Fix this by allowing netdev event
notification only after we have reached the INET_NOTIFIER state with
respect to device initialization.
