Subject: [PATCH] wifi: zd1211rw: unwind failed interface additions
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 09:32:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019013211.1489233-1-yaojiale02@163.com> (raw)

zd1211rw stores the vif and interface type before programming the MAC
and receive configuration. If that setup fails, mac80211 does not call
remove_interface and the stale type prevents another interface from
being added.

Clear the vif and type and restore the hardware MAC state before
returning the setup error.

Fixes: 459c51ad6e1f ("zd1211rw: port to mac80211")
