From: Ben Greear <[email protected]> commit 7d73cd946d4bc7d44cdc5121b1c61d5d71425dea upstream.
The incorrect timeout check caused probing to happen when it did not need to happen. This in turn caused tx performance drop for around 5 seconds in ath10k-ct driver. Possibly that tx drop is due to a secondary issue, but fixing the probe to not happen when traffic is running fixes the symptom.
