You can see the commit log, if to completely avoid the race situation to 
occur,

then it need to change the rtnl_lock usage in many place in 
cfg80211/mac80211.

it will effect a lot things.


It has a change as below to reduce usage of rtnl_lock, but it does not 
remove the rtnl_lock in ath11k.

cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver
