Yu Wang 50e79e2525 ath10k: fix kernel panic issue during pci probe
If device gone during chip reset, ar->normal_mode_fw.board is not
initialized, but ath10k_debug_print_hwfw_info() will try to access its
member, which will cause 'kernel NULL pointer' issue. This was found
using a faulty device (pci link went down sometimes) in a random
insmod/rmmod/other-op test.
To fix it, check ar->normal_mode_fw.board before accessing the member.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
