I think problem was introduced currently in mt76 driver version
that is not yet in mainline tree, so this is not right commit.
On Linus' tree we still read registers outside of cc_lock section.
void mt76x02_update_channel(struct mt76_dev *mdev)
{
...
busy = mt76_rr(dev, MT_CH_BUSY);
active = busy + mt76_rr(dev, MT_CH_IDLE);
spin_lock_bh(&dev->mt76.cc_lock);
state->cc_busy += busy;
state->cc_active += active;
spin_unlock_bh(&dev->mt76.cc_lock);
}

Why dev->rx_lock was needed before and is not needed now ?
