Great, thank you for looking into this. Let me know if you have a patch
which you want me to test on a RTL8723BS adapter.

One thing which I forgot to mention earlier, it is not just lockdep complaining
this appears to be a real deadlock, the wifi no longer functions, where
as it does function with the patch drops.

Hans
