   4 Subject: [PATCH 11/11] ath9k: fix null pointer dereference in ani monitor code
   5
   6 In 'ath9k_ani_reset' the 'ahp->ah_curani' will be initialized only
   7 if 'DO_ANI(ah)' true. In 'ath9k_hw_ani_monitor' we are using
   8 'ahp->ah_curani' unconditionally, and it will cause a NULL pointer
   9 dereference on AR9100.
