> The rtwdev->rf_lock spinlock protects the rf register accesses in
> rtw_read_rf() and rtw_write_rf(). Most callers of these functions hold
> rtwdev->mutex already with the exception of the callsites in the debugfs
> code. The debugfs code doesn't justify an extra lock, so acquire the mutex
> there as well before calling rf register accessors and drop the now
> unnecessary spinlock.
