From: Marcin Ślusarz <mslusarz@renau.com>

Right now it's possible to hit NULL pointer dereference in
rtw_rx_fill_rx_status on hw object and/or its fields because
initialization routine can start getting USB replies before
rtw_dev is fully setup.

The stack trace looks like this:

rtw_rx_fill_rx_status
rtw8821c_query_rx_desc
rtw_usb_rx_handler
...
queue_work
rtw_usb_read_port_complete
...
usb_submit_urb
rtw_usb_rx_resubmit
rtw_usb_init_rx
rtw_usb_probe

So while we do the async stuff rtw_usb_probe continues and calls
rtw_register_hw, which does all kinds of initialization (e.g.
via ieee80211_register_hw) that rtw_rx_fill_rx_status relies on.

Fix this by moving the first usb_submit_urb after everything
is set up.

For me, this bug manifested as:
[    8.893177] rtw_8821cu 1-1:1.2: band wrong, packet dropped
[    8.910904] rtw_8821cu 1-1:1.2: hw->conf.chandef.chan NULL in rtw_rx_fill_rx_status
because I'm using Larry's backport of rtw88 driver with the NULL
checks in rtw_rx_fill_rx_status.

I gave this suggestions too early, since we have not gotten test result from Tim.
I will change them to "Link:" if no ACK from Tim while merging.

This is v2 version, so mail subject should be "[PATCH v2] ....", and add 
change log here, like:

---  (delimiter is important here)

v2: add Reported-by and Closes.

Also I would prefer to point out "usb" in subject, please use "wifi: rtw88: usb: "
as prefix.

Hey all, thanks for reaching out!

Sadly I'm not able to work on this project right now, but I've
forwarded this email to a few colleagues to bring them in the loop.
Did you have a timeline you were looking at to close this off?

Thanks for your reply. I would take this patch to 6.11, so you have about
4-5 weeks. Is it enough to you?

Change Closes to Link during committing because of no ACK from Tim.
