The rtwdev->rf_lock spinlock protects the rf register accesses in
rtw_read_rf() and rtw_write_rf(). Most callers of these functions hold
rtwdev->mutex already with the exception of the callsites in the debugfs
code. The debugfs code doesn't justify an extra lock, so acquire the mutex
there as well before calling rf register accessors and drop the now
unnecessary spinlock.

This will take time to dump all RF registers for debugging
purpose. For PCI interface, I think this would be okay.
Could you try to dump registers via debufs while you are
using a USB WiFi device, such as play Youtube or download files...

If it doesn't work very well, I suggest to use rf_mutex to
replace rf_lock inplace, but not just remove rf_lock.

I just did a ping and iperf test while doing a:

while true; do cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/rtw88/rf_dump ; done

The register dumping has no influence on neither the throughput or the
latency.

Adding some debugging to the mutex_lock also tells why: rtwdev->mutex
isn't acquired for normal rx/tx. It is only acquired every two seconds
or so.

So I would say adding the mutex_lock around the register dump is not a
problem. If latency is a concern we could still move the mutex_lock()
into the loop.
