| Series | wifi: ath11k: Fix NULL pointer check in ath11k_ce_rx_post_pipe() | expand |

Change the OR to AND. The previous code used OR within parentheses to check for NON-NULL pointer on one of pipe->dest_ring and pipe->status_ring. The previous code can not guarantee the pipe->dest_ring pointer is NON-NULL. When certain errors occur, causing pipe->dest_ring to be NULL while pipe->status_ring remains NON-NULL , the subsequent call to ath11k_ce_rx_buf_enqueue_pipe() will access the NULL pointer, resulting in a driver crash. If it is assumed that these two pointers will not become NULL for any reason , then only need to check pipe->dest_ring is or not a NULL pointer, and no need to check NULL pointer on pipe->status_ring.
