[ Upstream commit ef115c265a21e3c11deee7f73bd1061775a7bf20 ]
spin_lock/spin_unlock are used in ath12k_reg_chan_list_event to acquire/release ab->base_lock. For now this is safe because that function is only called in soft IRQ context.
But ath12k_reg_chan_list_event() will be called from process context in an upcoming patch, and this can result in a deadlock if ab->base_lock is acquired in process context and then soft IRQ occurs on the same CPU and tries to acquire that lock.
Fix it by using spin_lock_bh and spin_unlock_bh instead.
Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
