mac80211 ->sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic. Since we have to take mutex and do other operations that can sleep when sending fimrware commands to device, the only option to satisfy atomicity requirement of ->sta_rc_update(), that I can see, is introduce work_struct and defer uploading new rates to that work. I don't have h/w to test this patch. Since sta_rc_update() calls are very unlikely, those who would like to test that patch should remove my previous patch "ath9k_htc: make ->sta_rc_update atomic for most calls" and possibly even modify mac80211 to call sta_rc_update(), without actual reason, just to test changed ath9k_htc code.
