As the comment says, rtnl_lock is acquired by the caller of this function. In fact this is not specific to 2.6.26 and later but has always been the case, so checking lock state is unnecessary and we can just call (un)register_netdevice() knowing that rtnl_lock is held.
rtl8723ds
Linux driver for RTL8723DS. This repo is derived from Realtek Version v5.1.1.5_20523_20161209_BTCOEX20161208-1212. It has been modified to build cleanly for kernels through v5.9.
Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723ds.git
cd rtl8723ds
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723ds
b. Non Concurrent Mode
If you do not want two devices (station and an access point) separately, then follow these instructions.
Step - 1: Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723ds.git
cd rtl8723ds
nano Makefile
Step - 2: Find the line that contains EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE and insert a # symbol at the beginning of that line.
This comments that line and disables concurrent mode.
Step - 3: Now, run the following commands in the same Linux terminal.
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723ds
