From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8b3046abc99eefe11438090bcc4ec3a3994b55d0 upstream. syzbot is reporting lockdep warning at ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() followed by kernel panic at get_htc_epid_queue() from ath9k_htc_tx_get_packet() from ath9k_htc_txstatus() [1], for ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet(WMI_TXSTATUS_EVENTID) depends on spin_lock_init() from ath9k_init_priv() being already completed. Since ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() is set by ath9k_init_wmi() from ath9k_htc_probe_device(), it is possible that ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() is called via tasklet interrupt before spin_lock_init() from ath9k_init_priv() from ath9k_init_device() from ath9k_htc_probe_device() is called. Let's hold ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet(WMI_TXSTATUS_EVENTID) no-op until ath9k_tx_init() completes.
