There is a circular locking dependency when configuring the
hardware ARP filters on association, occurring when flushing the mac80211
workqueue. This is what happens:

The locking in this case is quite complex. Fix the problem by rewriting the
way the hardware ARP filter list is handled - i.e. make a copy of the address
list to the bss_conf struct, and provide that list to the hardware driver
when needed.
Additionally, this patch ensures that hardware ARP filtering is not enabled
when promiscuous mode is set.

Yes, sure I can change this.
My home WLAN is giving me a headache, so I can't seem to access my work machine just now, but I began to wonder if I managed to create the same locking problem in this patch I had before. To traverse the interface list we need to acquire a lock - either the mutex for the iflist (which seems not to be an option as we also need the mgd mutex - to be locked after the iflist mutex) or the rtnl lock, which I chose to acquire. I quess the filter reconfig work is in the same mac80211 workqueue as the rest of the stuff, so the rtnl lock problem is there again.
