[ Upstream commit ae80b60338 ]
Unexpected WDCMSG_TARGET_START replay can lead to null-ptr-deref
when ar->tx_cmd->odata is NULL. The patch adds a null check to
prevent such case.
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

I found the bug using a custome USBFuzz port. It's a research work
to fuzz USB stack/drivers. I modified it to fuzz ath9k driver only,
providing hand-crafted usb descriptors to QEMU.
After fixing the code (fourth byte in usb packet) to WDCMSG_TARGET_START,
I got the null-ptr-deref bug. I believe the bug is triggerable whenever
cmd->odata is NULL. After patching, I tested with the same input and no
longer see the KASAN report.
This was NOT tested on a real device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
