In mwifiex_init_new_priv_params() we update our private driver state to reflect the currently selected virtual interface type. Most notably we set the bss_mode to the mode we're going to put the firmware in. Now after we updated the driver state we actually start talking to the firmware and instruct it to set up the new mode. Those commands can and will sometimes fail, in which case we return with an error from mwifiex_change_vif_to_*. We currently update our virtual interface type counters after this return, which means the code is never reached when a firmware error happens and we never update the counters. Since we have updated our bss_mode earlier though, the counters now no longer reflect the actual state of the driver. This will break things on the next virtual interface change, because the virtual interface type we're switching away from didn't get its counter incremented, and we end up decrementing a 0-counter. To fix this, simply update the virtual interface type counters right after updating our driver structures, so that they are always in sync.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
