  - wifi: ath12k: fix dp_link_peer dangling references on AP vdev rollback ath12k_mac_vdev_create() for an AP
    vdev creates the bss self-peer via ath12k_peer_create(), which finishes by calling
    ath12k_dp_link_peer_assign() to publish the dp_link_peer in the dp_hw->dp_peers[peerid_index] RCU table,
    in the dp_peer's link_peers[] array, and in the per-addr rhashtable. If a step after ath12k_peer_create()
    fails the function jumps to err_peer_del, which open-codes a WMI peer_delete and waits for the unmap /
    delete_resp events. The wait_for_peer_delete_done() path relies on ath12k_dp_link_peer_unmap_event()
    freeing the dp_link_peer when the unmap arrives, but err_peer_del never calls
    ath12k_dp_link_peer_unassign() first. The published references in the dp_hw RCU table,
    dp_peer->link_peers[] and the rhashtable are left pointing at the dp_link_peer that unmap_event then
    frees, producing dangling pointers and use-after-free on subsequent lookups. Replace the open-coded
    sequence with a call to ath12k_peer_delete(), which already does ath12k_dp_link_peer_unassign() before
    sending the WMI command. This drops the published references before the dp_link_peer is freed, in the same
    order as the normal teardown path in ath12k_mac_remove_link_interface(). Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI
    WLAN.HMT.1.1.c7-00108-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ_UPSTREAM-3 (CVE-2026-93094)
