Bisection pointed to:

   commit 92045aab1bd9bfd73d816e907ea07739c4550b41
   Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
   Date:   Sat Dec 16 05:47:15 2023 +0000

       wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use
       
       commit 7e7efdda6adb385fbdfd6f819d76bc68c923c394 upstream.

Reverting that was not possible, so I reverted 47f3694a4259 first ("wifi: nl80211: fix deadlock in nl80211_set_cqm_rssi (6.6.x)"), but that was not enough. After reverting both 47f3694a4259 and 92045aab1bd9, the build passed again.

Reproducer:

   tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch x86_64 --toolchain gcc-8 --kconfig allmodconfig
