[Linux regression tracking (Thorsten Leemhuis)]

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.

Hmmm, there afaics was no real progress and not even a single reply from
a developer (neither here or in bugzilla) since the issue was reported
~10 days ago. :-/

Manikanta, did you maybe just miss that this is caused by change of
yours (and thus is something you should look into)?

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

The client kernel freezes when associating to QCN9074 AP without specific logs and requires reboot. I'll post another bug once I can get more logs.
