Since Linux 5.4.1 released, iwlwifi could not initialize Intel(R) Dual Band
Wireless AC 9462 firmware, failing with following error in dmesg:

iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: FW error in SYNC CMD SCAN_CFG_CMD

whole dmesg output of error can be found at:
https://gist.github.com/makiftasova/354e46439338f4ab3fba0b77ad5c19ec

also bug report from ArchLinux bug tracker (contains more info):
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64703

Reverting commit 06eb547c4ae4 ("iwlwifi: mvm: fix scan config command
size") seems to fix this issue  until proper solution is found.

This reverts commit 06eb547c4ae4382e70d556ba213d13c95ca1801b.

Since this bug report is about the Dell XPS 13 2-in1: I tested your
revert with this device, but the issue persists at least on this
device. So these might be two different issues, one for your device
and another one for the XPS.

Hello,

Because I used gmail mobile app to response and the app decided that 
always using HTML is a valid choice for every one, my previous mail 
rejected by mailing lists.

Because of that I am (re)sending this mail. You can find contents of my 
previous mail below.

Regards,
Mehmet Akif.

Yeah, to get iwlwifi to work somewhat nicely you need this revert, and 
also theese on top of 5.4.6:

and atleast v2 of the "iwlwifi: mvm: don't send the 
IWL_MVM_RXQ_NSSN_SYNC notif to Rx queues" patch that is being debated on 
this list.

With theese in place, we seem to have it behaving properly again for 
Mageia users reporting various problems / firmware crashes / ...

Hopefully Intel guys will get this sorted soon-ish and all sent to stable@

Indeed the revert is correct.  I'm going to apply it in our internal
tree and send it out for v5.5-rc* (with stable in CC so it goes to
v5.4).  Thanks Mehmet!

The fixes for these two are already in v5.5-rc3, [1] and [2]
respectively.  They are both marked for v5.4, hopefully they'll be
included in v5.4.7.

Kalle is on vacation, but when he gets, back we'll decide what to do
with this.  If he really doesn't like our v4, I'll send out a new
version that satisfies him so we can finally fix this bug.

Thanks, Thomas, for the comprehensive list of fixes needed here!
