After updating the linux-image-amd64 version from 6.12.111-1 to
6.12.113-1, the TP-Link TL-WN722N USB network adapter stopped working;
the ath9k_htc kernel module loads normally.
Here the output of dmesg:

but when I bring up the interface I receive the error: RTNETLINK
answers: Message too long
No message appears in dmesg.

If I try to remove the module ath9k_rtc with modprobe -r ath9k_rtc I
got a kernel panic.
If is useful I can try to catch it.

I am using Debian 13

The issue is caused by commit 03ef61d05aa26022327f971b790f07e6bf6e35d6
"wifi: ath9k: reject short WMI command responses" and was fixed in
version 6.12.114 by reverting the commit with commit
892422ca780ad882f8dd4e3603e2616fafa46332

[ Upstream commit 90201351a862182bdabfc1ad1c97b1e1b6ed5931 ]

This reverts commit 93ce8ea70451e800601bc9444aa33043de15d67b.

Mehmet reported that the offending commit breaks his AR9271 USB adapter
which uses zero-length replies to commands that don't return a value.
Revert the whole thing to restore the functionality.

I hope the kernel can be updated to version 6.12.114 or the revert to
version 6.12.113 can be applied as soon as possible
