Thanks for reviewing!

My focus on this patch was to get a driver to load/unload properly and
avoid restructuring bits that can be deferred to later patches.

I had the same thought and considered this. The problem is I don't
understand or have time to investigate the locking that is hinted at
in the comment preceding the call to schedule_delayed_work(). I don't
understand what locking they are referring to since interrupts are in
fact enabled by the time the delayed work function is invoked.

I have to wonder if the comment is left over from when the function
was directly called instead of "delayed work". ie race condition
exists regardless of when we call schedule_delayed_work().
