commit 8f4fa0876231c426f880a2bff25ac49fac67d805 upstream.
In commit 0d9c2beed116 ("wifi: mac80211: fix monitor channel with chanctx emulation") I changed mac80211 to always have an internal monitor_sdata to have something to have the chanctx bound to.
However, if the driver didn't also have the WANT_MONITOR flag this would cause mac80211 to allocate it without telling the driver (which was intentional) but also use it for later APIs to the driver without it ever having known about it which was _not_ intentional.
Check through the code and only use the monitor_sdata in the relevant places (TX, MU-MIMO follow settings, TX power, and interface iteration) when the WANT_MONITOR flag is set.
