Hello,

thanks for your contribution. It seems to me that there is no proper
TX-flow control and I have some questions.

Where do you check the result of the TX command?

Where's the check if the TX buffer is full?

How do you make sure that the tx_work has finished?
Once you wake the queue, the xmit function can be called again. If your
tx_work has not finished, you'll overwrite the priv->data_buf.
