Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] net: dsa: Use delayed work instead of timer+work for
 polling

Simplifies the code and avoids a crash when removing the
module:
 dsa dsa ethmv2 (unregistering): Link is Down
 device eth1 left promiscuous mode
 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bacc5cf6
 ...
