Subject: [ 014/167] [PATCH] uwb: fix use of del_timer_sync() in interrupt

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oliver@...kum.org>

commit 9426cd05682745d1024dbabdec5631309bd2f480 upstream.

del_timer_sync() cannot be used in interrupt.
Replace it with del_timer() and a flag
