Syzkaller reports NULL pointer dereference issues at ath9k_htc_rxep() and ath9k_htc_tx_get_packet() in 5.10 stable releases. The problems have been fixed by the following patch series which can be cleanly applied to the 5.10 branch.

commit b0ec7e55fce65f125bd1d7f02e2dc4de62abee34 upstream.
syzbot is reporting lockdep warning followed by kernel panic at ath9k_htc_rxep() [1], for ath9k_htc_rxep() depends on ath9k_rx_init() being already completed.
Since ath9k_htc_rxep() is set by ath9k_htc_connect_svc(WMI_BEACON_SVC) from ath9k_init_htc_services(), it is possible that ath9k_htc_rxep() is called via timer interrupt before ath9k_rx_init() from ath9k_init_device() is called.
Since we can't call ath9k_init_device() before ath9k_init_htc_services(), let's hold ath9k_htc_rxep() no-op until ath9k_rx_init() completes.

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.
