Switch from using driver specific ar->conf_mutex to wiphy->mtx. The benefits are: * one lock less and simplified locking * possibility to use wiphy_work_queue() without other locks Most of the mac80211 ops are called within wiphy_lock(), most notable exception being tx op. This can be checked with lockdep_assert_wiphy() from net/mac80211/driver-ops.[ch] and I veried that by manually going through all the ops in ath12k_ops which had lockdep_assert_wiphy(). The conversion was simple: * All conf_mutex lock() and unlock() calls which already were called under wiphy_lock() I replaced with lockdep_assert_wiphy(). * The rest of conf_mutex calls I replaced with wiphy_lock() and wiphy_unlock(). * All lockdep_asset_held(conf_mutex) calls I replaced with lockdep_assert_wiphy(). One exception was in ath12k_core_post_reconfigure_recovery() where the wiphy lock needs to be taken before hw_mutex to avoid a lockdep warning.

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 reStructuredText 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.
