From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <[email protected]>
with the recent changes in the tx path we got a soft lockup.
introduced by the commit 3ad2952998b08442044690fa9b4ec38c6c3fc4a9
ath_send_bar seems to later call ath9k_tx which in turn seems to
acquire the same axq_lock before calling ath_tx_start_dma

John,
please drop this patch, as this still does not addresses a soft lockup
observed in soft AP mode. Felix will send a proper patch for this. thank
you!
