Hi!
Fix ath10k_wmi_tlv_op_pull_peer_stats_info() to hold RCU lock before it
calls ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() and release it when the resulting
pointer is no longer needed.
It does that. But is also does the unlock even if it did not take the
lock:
There is only one path after it takes the lock.

The switch only takes the lock in 3 branches, but it is released
unconditionally at the end.
I don't see any other switch cases. However, default is missing:
It could be done this way perhaps: (simpler than what you proposed)
