From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fe56d05ee6c87f6a1a8c7267affd92c9438249cc ] During CSA, we briefly nullify the phy context, in __iwl_mvm_unassign_vif_chanctx. In case we have a FW assert right after it, it remains NULL though. We end up running into endless loop due to mac80211 trying repeatedly to move us to ASSOC state, and we keep returning -EINVAL. Later down the road we hit a kernel panic. Detect and avoid this endless loop.
