OK.

So would this also be a bug in the hi3110 and mcp251x drivers (line 521) as well because besides checking tx_length
this is how these drivers are written.

In addition in the peripheral context the work queue does not report up to the upper layer the status.
Again the hi3110 and mcp251x drivers are written this way.

The only issue I see here is that the dropped and invalid check needs to come after the tx_skb check.
