Hi Greg / stable maintainer(s),
IIUC, this commit is a good candidate for -stable. I just hit the bug on 4.14, because of new vendor firmware that noticed the mismatched length (an internal "assert"), but it seems like this is equally problematic from the kernel side for as long as this code existed [1]:
commit c8291988806407e02a01b4b15b4504eafbcc04e0 Author: Zhi Chen zhichen@codeaurora.org Date: Mon Jun 18 17:00:39 2018 +0300
ath10k: fix scan crash due to incorrect length calculation
Thanks, Brian
[1] I guess that would be:
Fixes: ca996ec56608 ("ath10k: implement wmi-tlv backend")
which was in v4.0.

Thanks Brian!
