Ouch again, thanks for catching this! This time I actually tested
changing bitrates and it shouldn't deadlock in v3. But I did notice
sleeping while atomic warnings (even without this patchset) and decided
to fix those in the same patchset as well.

Oh, and WCN6855 firmware was also crashing whenever I tried to change
the bitrates. But let's handle that separately.
