I think this patch depends on another patchset or oppositely.
Please point that out for reviewers.

>   rtw88: Configure the registers from rtw_bf_assoc() outside the RCU
>     lock
>   rtw88: Use rtw_iterate_vifs() for rtw_vif_watch_dog_iter()
>   rtw88: Use non-atomic rtw_iterate_stas() in rtw_ra_mask_info_update()
