iwlwifi: mvm: avoid race condition in ADD_STA.
The race happens when we send ADD_STA(auth->assoc) -> LQ_CMD between the commands the FW sometimes loses the medium for AUX, and sends a ndp to the AP and the flow becomes, ADD_STA -> send ndp -> LQ_CMD the problem is that there's no rates yet defined for sending the ndp and FW generates an assert. The fix: change the order of the commands to LQ_CMD -> ADD_STA Signed-off-by: Mordechay Goodstein <mordechay.goodstein@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>
