yes, ath10k_hif_start is only called from ath10k_core_start, it has 
"lockdep_assert_held(&ar->conf_mutex)",
and ath10k_hif_stop is only called from ath10k_core_stop, it also has 
"lockdep_assert_held(&ar->conf_mutex)".
then it will not 2 thread both enter ath10k_hif_start/ath10k_hif_stop 
meanwhile.
