Ok, I can remove the spin-lock.

Just for clarification though, if I recall correctly then an increment operator
is not guaranteed to work atomically. But you think it's unlikely
to race with a concurrent ++ and therefore it's fine for just a debug counter?
(and if it were racing, it'd just be a missed +1)

Or is there another mechanism that avoids concurrency in the
ath10k RX path?
