Since these two lockes are both initialized in ath11k_hal_srng_setup,
they are assigned with the same key. As a result lockdep suspects that
the task is trying to acquire the same lock (due to same key) while
already holding it, and thus reports the DEADLOCK warning. However as
they are different spinlock instances, the warning is false positive.

On the other hand, even no dead lock indeed, this is a major issue for
upstream regression testing as it disables lockdep functionality.

Fix it by assigning separate lock class key for each srng->lock.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
