Title
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't leak a link on AP removal
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't leak a link on AP removal Release the link mapping resource in AP removal. This impacted devices that do not support the MLD API (9260 and down). On those devices, we couldn't start the AP again after the AP has been already started and stopped.
