Summary

In the Linux kernel, the mt76 (mt7996) driver has a NULL pointer dereference in mt7996_init_tx_queues() when MT76_NPU and CONFIG_NET_MEDIATEK_SOC_WED are enabled. The issue occurs when an NPU is detected.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to system crashes during network interface initialization on platforms with NPU.

Recommendation

Install a kernel patch that always passes the WED pointer from mt7996_dma_init().
