Hi, kalle:
I just take a look for ath12k_mac_get_arvif_by_vdev_id() and
ath12k_mac_get_ar_by_vdev_id.
Both of them use rcu_read_lock(), so we don't need mutex_lock() anymore,
right?
I also tried to add mutex_lock() for them, cannot work well:

kernel/locking/mutex.c:585

So i think the initial change is sufficient: just use mutex_lock() in
ath12k_mgmt_over_wmi_tx_work().
