CVE-2022-49523
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ath11k: disable spectral scan during spectral deinit

When ath11k modules are removed using rmmod with spectral scan enabled,
crash is observed. Different crash trace is observed for each crash.

Send spectral scan disable WMI command to firmware before cleaning
the spectral dbring in the spectral_deinit API to avoid this crash.
