Yeah, this extremely ugly but don't really know any better way to handle
this now.

But why do you need to take conf_mutex? Isn't this enough:

+static u64 ath10k_get_tsf(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct ieee80211_vif *vif)
+{
+       /*
+        * FIXME: Return 0 for time being. Need to figure out whether FW
+        * has the API to fetch 64-bit TSF
+        */
+
+       return 0;
+}
