Why are you using delayed work here? I don't see a reason why we would
like to defer execution here. Just use schedule_work().

Don't complicate things unnecessarily. Just put a patch in front of this
one to remove the spinlock. As you removed it already from the RX and TX
paths it doesn't protect anything anymore.
