The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.
The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.17 are:
[FUNC] msleep
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 3805:
msleep in issue_deauth_ex
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 6336:

drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 6336:

drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_cmd.c, 963:

drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme.c, 2256:
rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme.c, 2204:
spin_lock_bh in rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue
To fix this bug, msleep() is replaced with mdelay().
This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
