Commenting the issue reported by Sashiko here:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260420-airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue-fix-v2-0-d99347e5c18d%40kernel.org
- Could a similar vulnerability still exist in the TX queue initialization and cleanup path?
This issue is not related to this patch and already fixed here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20260417-airoha_qdma_cleanup_tx_queue-fix-net-v4-1-e04bcc2c9642@kernel.org/
