They all seem to have that same issue, and it looks like the fix would
be to get the RTN lock in iwl_mvm_init_mcc(), but I didn't really look
into it very much.

This is on my desktop, and I actually don't _use_ the wireless on this
machine. I assume it still works despite the warnings, but they should
get fixed.

I *don't* see these warnings on my laptop where I actually use
wireless, but that one uses ath10k_pci, so it seems this is purely a
iwlwifi issue.

I can't be the only one that sees this. Hmm?

Mm. Looking thru the recent commits there is a suspicious rtnl_unlock()
in commit eb09ae93dabf ("iwlwifi: mvm: load regdomain at INIT stage").

Huh! That's not the version of the commit I remember - it had an
rtnl_lock() in there too (just before the mutex_lock)?! Looks like that
should really be there, not sure how/where it got lost along the way.

That unbalanced rtnl_unlock() makes no sense anyway. Wonder why it
doesn't cause more assertions/problems at that point, clearly it's
unbalanced. Pretty sure it's missing the rtnl_lock() earlier in the
function for some reason.

Luca and I will look at it tomorrow, getting late here, sorry.

I am seeing the same problem, and it does happen in lots of places. For example

finger@2603-8090-2005-39b3-0000-0000-0000-1023:~/rtl8812au>dmesg | grep assertion\ failed

[    6.467291] RTNL: assertion failed at net/ipv4/igmp.c (1432)

I am in the process of bisecting the problem, just in case it happens some other place than your suspicion leads you.
