Commit e8c1841278 ("wifi: cfg80211: annotate iftype_data pointer with
sparse") added sparse checks for struct ieee80211_sband_iftype_data handling
which immediately found an issue in ath11k:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: expected struct ieee80211_sta_he_cap const *he_cap
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:7952:22: got struct ieee80211_sta_he_cap const [noderef] __iftype_data *
The problem here is that we are accessing sband->iftype_data directly even
though we should use for_each_sband_iftype_data() or similar. Fortunately
there's ieee80211_get_he_iftype_cap_vif() which is just what we need here so
use it to get HE capabilities.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
