Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: Fix qmi_msg_handler data structure initialization
qmi_msg_handler is required to be null terminated by QMI module.
There might be a case where a handler for a msg id is not present in the

Hence update the initialization in qmi_msg_handler data structure.
