---------------------------------------------
wpa_supplicant/2878 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0721511>] ath10k_wmi_tx_beacons_iter+0x26/0x11a [ath10k_core]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa070251b>] ath10k_peer_create+0x122/0x1ae [ath10k_core]

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock);
  lock(&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
