You do this change in patch "rtw88: Add common USB chip support".
Please move to here.

-void rtw_collect_vif_iter(void *data, u8 *mac, struct ieee80211_vif *vif)
+static void rtw_collect_vif_iter(void *data, u8 *mac, struct ieee80211_vif *vif)

After read Martin's patches, I think we can review all places where use
_aotmic version of vif and sta, even we don't really meet problem for now.
Then, use non-atomic version if possible.
