Subject: ath10k: fix rx_channel during hw reconfigure

From: Rajkumar Manoharan <[email protected]>

commit 1ce8c1484e80010a6e4b9611c65668ff77556f45 upstream.

Upon firmware assert, restart work will be triggered so that mac80211 will reconfigure the driver. An issue is reported that after restart work, survey dump data do not contain in-use (SURVEY_INFO_IN_USE) info for operating channel. During reconfigure, since mac80211 already has valid channel context for given radio, channel context iteration return num_chanctx > 0. Hence rx_channel is always NULL. Fix this by assigning channel context to rx_channel when driver restart is in progress.
