SubjectRE: [PATCH v2] rtw88: pci: Move a mass of jobs in hw IRQ to soft IRQ

So basically it's to prevent back-to-back interrupts.

Nothing wrong about it, I just wondering why we don't like
back-to-back interrupts. Does it means that those interrupts
fired between irq_handler and threadfin would increase
much more time to consume them.

I suggest to protect the ISRs. Because next patches will require
to check if the TX DMA path is empty. This means I will also add
this rtwpci->irq_lock to the TX path, and check if the skb_queue
does not have any pending SKBs not DMAed successfully.

Why check the flag here? Is there any racing or something?
Otherwise it looks to break the symmetry.
