CVE-2026-46271
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: do WoW offloads only on primary link
In case of multi-link connection, WCN7850 firmware crashes due to WoW offloads enabled on both primary and secondary links.
Change to do it only on primary link to fix it.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00284-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1
