[ Upstream commit 82e2be57d544ff9ad4696c85600827b39be8ce9e ]
When buf_len is not 4-byte aligned in ath12k_wmi_mgmt_send(), the firmware asserts and triggers a recovery. The following error messages are observed:
ath12k_pci 0004:01:00.0: failed to submit WMI_MGMT_TX_SEND_CMDID cmd ath12k_pci 0004:01:00.0: failed to send mgmt frame: -108 ath12k_pci 0004:01:00.0: failed to tx mgmt frame, vdev_id 0 :-108 ath12k_pci 0004:01:00.0: waiting recovery start...
This issue was observed when running 'iw wlanx set power_save off/on' in MLO station mode, which triggers the sending of an SMPS action frame with a length of 27 bytes to the AP. To resolve the misalignment, use buf_len_aligned instead of buf_len when constructing the WMI TLV header.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.IOE_HMT.1.1-00011-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1
