Loic Poulain e5f9908155 wcn36xx: Fix firmware crash due to corrupted buffer address
wcn36xx_start_tx function retrieves the buffer descriptor from the
channel control queue to start filling tx buffer information. However,
nothing prevents this same buffer to be concurrently accessed in a
concurent tx call, leading to potential buffer coruption and firmware
crash (observed during iperf test). The channel control queue should
only be accessed and updated with the channel lock.

Fix this issue by using a local buffer descriptor which will be copied
in the thread-safe wcn36xx_dxe_tx_frame.

Note that buffer descriptor size is few bytes so the introduced copy
overhead is insignificant. Moreover, this allows to keep the locked
section minimal.

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.
