Hello.
The following upstream commits:
aa6f8dcbab47 swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE" ddbd89deb7d3 swiotlb: fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE
break ath9k-based Wi-Fi access point for me. The AP emits beacons, but no client can connect to it, either from the very beginning, or shortly after start. These are the only symptoms I've noticed (i.e., no BUG/WARNING messages in `dmesg` etc).
The hardware is:

I'm pretty confident these commits make the difference since I've built both v5.17 and v5.16.15 without them, and it fixed the issue.
The machine has also got another Wi-Fi card that acts as a 802.11ax AP, and it is not affected:
01:00.0 Unclassified device [0002]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7915E 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter (prog-if 80)So, I do understand this might be an issue with regard to SG I/O handling in ath9k, hence relevant people in Cc.
Please suggest on how to deal with this. Both me and Olha (in Cc) will be glad to test patches if needed. In case any extra info is required, please also let me know.
Thanks.
